Tattoo Aftercare

No matter how big or small your tattoo is, you need to properly care for it so that it stays looking fresh.

Some of the most important things to do before your tattoo session are to ensure you’re healthy and the area is ready, which means no alcohol 24 hours before the session, and avoiding blood thinning medications.

Once you’ve been inked, aftercare is crucial to ensure proper healing and the longevity of your tattoo. Aftercare includes things such as not scratching the tattoo, avoiding soaking your tattoo in water and applying aftercare cream two times a day for two weeks.

Before and aftercare is essential, whether it’s your first or fifth tattoo. Your tattoo can look its best if you follow our tattoo aftercare and preparation guides.

Piercing Aftercare

Piercings are a popular form of self-expression and date back over 5,000 years.

Aftercare is crucial no matter the piercing you are getting, whether it is a simple ear piercing, a body piercing, or a cartilage piercing. The quality of your aftercare routine can be the difference between the success of your piercing or your skin not accepting it.

Because of the range and the differing nature of each of the piercings we provide at Celebrity Ink, your aftercare instructions will look different, which is why it’s essential to follow the correct aftercare routine suited to your piercing .
