The Truth About Tattoo Healing: Why Aftercare Matters More Than You Think

Getting a tattoo is more than just ink — it’s a healing process.

As artists, we spend hours creating something beautiful on skin. But what happens after the session is just as important. Healing affects how a tattoo settles, how it looks long-term, and how proud your client feels about it.

Yet so many people still get it wrong.

From forgetting to moisturise to removing second skin too early, small mistakes can impact results. The truth is, even the best tattoos can fade, blur, or heal patchy without the right aftercare.

Here’s what really matters:

✅ Keeping the skin moisturised (but not smothered)

✅ Knowing when to remove second skin, not just how

✅ Using the right products — not whatever’s in the bathroom

✅ Staying consistent during the first critical days

✅ Understanding what’s normal… and what’s not

As professionals, we know these things. But clients need help. They need reminders, guidance, and support after they leave the studio.

That’s why we’re working on something new. Something simple, powerful, and designed to help tattoos heal the way they should.

Stay tuned.

Because great tattoos deserve great aftercare.
