The majority of your new tattoos healing process will be done within the first two weeks. However, the skin is still working to heal and rejuvenate and you need to plan on a 4-6 weeks for your skin to be back to its previous state.

Wash your hands thoroughly. Never touch your piercing or jewellery with dirty hands.

Saturate a cotton ball with warm water, and gently wipe away any “crusties” that have gathered around the piercing site. Throw the cotton ball away.

As the skin rejuvenates itself, usually about a week after the tattoo was done, the itch sets in. This is 100% normal. Good moisturizers will help immensely with this but DO NOT SCRATCH IT! If lotion isn’t helping, run it under cold water for a few moments and you should be itch free.

Apply a generous amount of liquid soap to your fingertip, and apply to the piercing site and jewellery. Make sure you get the soap everywhere, but rotating the jewellery is not necessary as long as you work the soap around the piercing and jewellery completely.

Rinse the piercing and jewellery several times with warm water, ensuring that all soap has been removed.

Dry your piercing with a clean paper towel and then dispose of it.
