Aftercare

❥ If your tattoo has been covered with a waterproof dressing, leave it on for 48 hours. Although it's waterproof, please avoid swimming, beach dips, baths and excessive sweating, as moisture can become trapped underneath (the perfect excuse to skip the gym).

❥ If we didn’t cover your tattoo, please do your absolute best to keep your tattoo clean and completely dry for the next 48 hours.

❥ When removing your waterproof dressing after 48 hours, please follow the removal video here.

❥ 48 hours after your appointment (or after removing your waterproof dressing), begin moisturising your tattoo using the aftercare cream provided. Use half a pea-sized amount once a day.

❥ Avoid applying your aftercare cream straight after a shower. Wait 30-60 minutes for your skin to cool and dry completely before moisturising.

❥ After showering, gently pat your tattoo dry with a clean towel. Avoid rubbing the area.

❥ Avoid direct sun exposure and soaking your tattoo for 2-3 weeks - no sun-baking, baths, saunas, pools, beach dips or long, steamy showers.

❥ DON’T apply fake tan over your tattoo whilst it's healing (approximately 3 weeks).

❥ DON'T scratch or pick at your tattoo.

❥ If you have any questions or concerns, please email lunalapoke@outlook.com.au

    ❥If any rash or reaction occurs where the second skin is applied, remove it immediately.

    ❥After 48 hours remove the bandage by GENTLY peeling it off in the shower.

    ❥Give it a quick wash with a non-scented soap and pat dry with paper towel.
