Aftercare

When your new piece is finished, and you’ve got a good look at it, listen to your tattoo artist. They will tell you all the things you need to know to help heal your tattoo and keep it looking fresh. 

Our advice below is definitely worth remembering.

Clean-Up: Treat your tattoo like you would vintage vinyl. In other words, handle with care. Use your Tattoo Healing Balm, Sana Sana. Wash your hands, then apply Sana Sana to your clean tattoo. Gently massage the healing balm into your new tattoo until it’s fully absorbed. Our tattoo CBD Healing Balm is a custom creation of natural botanicals and 50 0mg of organic cannabinoids that work to help support your skin during the healing process.

Wear Comfy Clothes: Save the skintight clothing for after your tattoo heals. Give your new tattoo plenty of breathing room. 

Hands-Off Approach: That new tattoo is going to itch and scab over. While it’s a natural part of the healing process, it resembles something closer to your knees after recess in elementary school. This is one scab you don’t want to pick. The last thing you want is for your fresh ink to flake off. When the itching gets too intense, slather on CBD Healing Balm, then breathe the sweet, sweet sigh of relief.

Avoid Swimming Pools: Your scabby tattoo and your cat have something in common. Both hate extended dips in the water. Avoid the swimming pool while your tattoo is undergoing the itchy/scabby healing process to avoid a faded, fugly end tattoo.

Avoid the Sun: Bask in the sun if you want, but know that your tattoo will suffer for it. While you shouldn’t put sunscreen on a fresh tattoo, you do need to keep it covered whenever you’re out in the sun. You don’t want a sunburn on freshly tatted skin. Later, after your piece has healed? If there were ever a time to embrace consistent sunscreen use, it would be then. Unless, of course, you like fast-fading tattoos.

Watch for Infection: Your tattoo artist will have already gone through a list of “do” and “do not.” If you ignored their expert advice, you run a higher risk of getting an infection. If your skin looks red, inflamed, and swollen a few days after your tattoo session, seek medical advice from a healthcare professional. Whatever you do, don’t ignore an infection. Get it treated ASAP.
