They hurt about 90% less than the standard machine tattoos. This means we can do longer sittings and finish most tattoos in one go.

• Do not wrap the tattoo.
• Wash as normal with a gentle soap. Swimming is fine, the next day.
• Do not use sun beds for two weeks, however natural sunbathing is fine.
• Please avoid the gym for 72 hours.
• No body scrubs or massages over the tattoo for two weeks. The rest of the body is fine. You only need to avoid the tattooed area.
• Avoid creams and lotions on the tattoo for 72 hours as on occasion they can cause irritation. A thin layer of plain baby oil is fine if it feels dry. Don’t use any baby oil with added extras such as lavender or aloe vera.
• Do not scratch the tattoo if it becomes itchy. You can rub it gently if you need to.
• For facial tattoos, please don’t use Botox or filler or any other such products for 1 month.
