Mr Lee's House of Tattoos - Advice and Aftercare

Avoid excessive alcohol consumption.

Make sure you have eaten something prior to your appointment.

Wear appropriate clothing for being tattooed, e.g. no dirty clothes or footwear

Please arrive 15 minutes before your appointment time in order for us to keep to our schedule.

Remove dressing within 2 hours after the tattoo was applied.

Wash thoroughly with warm, soapy water. Pat dry with a clean towel and leave to air. Do not re-dress your tattoo.

On the second or third day the tattoo will form a scab. Continue to wash your tattoo with warm, soapy water. DO NOT SOAK THE TATTOO. Always pat dry.

DO NOT pick your tattoo. It will usually heal within 7-10 days. You may wish to use a small amount of antiseptic cream to help soothe any itchy discomfort. Make sure any cream is thoroughly rubbed in.

DO NOT use Savlon wound wash or any Vaseline whilst healing. You will have some dry skin around and over the tattoo whilst healing – this is normal.

DO NOT pick, scratch, itch, swim, sunbathe or expose your tattoo to dirty environments, until the tattoo has completely healed.
