Daily Cleaning Routine

Wash and Moisturize Twice Daily: Wash your tattoo gently twice a day—once in the morning and once at night. Always follow up with a light layer of unscented tattoo aftercare cream or lotion. Look for products with ingredients like shea butter, vitamin E, and aloe vera, which help keep the skin hydrated without clogging pores.
Avoid Over-Moisturizing: While it’s important to keep the tattoo hydrated, too much moisturizer can prevent air from reaching the skin, slowing healing. Apply a thin layer of lotion, just enough to keep the tattoo from drying out and feeling tight.
Don’t Pick or Scratch: Itching and peeling are normal during the healing process, but scratching or picking can damage the tattoo, cause scarring, and introduce bacteria. If it’s itchy, gently pat the area or apply a thin layer of moisturizer to soothe it.
