Fineline Tattoo Aftercare

Fineline tattoos require gentle aftercare to ensure proper healing and to maintain the crispness of the lines. Here’s a simple aftercare routine:

1. Initial Care (First 24-48 Hours)

• Leave the bandage or wrap on for the 2-3 days.

• Wash your hands before touching your tattoo.

2. Healing Phase (First Two Weeks)

• Apply a thin layer of a fragrance-free, tattoo-safe moisturizer (like Aquaphor or a tattoo balm) 2-3 times a day.

• Keep the tattoo clean and dry—avoid soaking it in water (no swimming or long baths). Gently wash the tattoo with lukewarm water and a fragrance-free soap. Pat dry with a clean paper towel.

• Avoid direct sunlight and excessive sweating.

• Do not pick, scratch, or peel any flaking skin.

3. Long-Term Care (After Healing)

• Continue moisturizing regularly to keep the skin moisturized.

• Use sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) to prevent fading.

• Avoid harsh exfoliants or scrubbing over the tattooed area.

Since fineline tattoos are more delicate, they may fade faster than bolder tattoos. Touch-ups might be needed over time, depending on placement and skin type. Let me know if you have any questions!
