Tattoo Aftercare: The Ultimate Guide

By Artist NirmalDec 05, 2025

Your new tattoo is an investment in art and yourself. How you treat it in the first few weeks determines how it will look for the rest of your life. Follow this guide from BlackArt Tattoos Udaipur for perfect healing.

The First 24 Hours

Keep the bandage on for as long as your artist recommends (usually 2-4 hours). When you remove it, wash the area gently with lukewarm water and fragrance-free soap.

Cleaning and Moisturizing

Wash your tattoo 2-3 times a day. Pat it dry with a clean paper towel—never rub it. Apply a very thin layer of artist-recommended ointment. Less is more!

What to Avoid

  • No Swimming: Stay out of pools, lakes, and oceans for at least 2 weeks.
  • No Sun: Direct sunlight can fade a healing tattoo. Keep it covered.
  • No Picking: As it heals, it will itch and might peel. Do not scratch or pick at the scabs!

If you have any questions during your healing process, our studio in Udaipur is always here to help. Proper care ensures the colors stay vibrant and the lines remain sharp.
