  • Getting a new tattoo involves breaking the skin’s surface, so there is always a potential risk for infection to occur afterwards. This means good aftercare is crucial. Your tattoo should be treated as a wound initially. It is important that this advice is followed, so that the infection risk can be minimised.

    Infection Risk Guidance Tips:

    1. Avoid unnecessary touching, scratching or picking of the new tattoo site to reduce the risk of introducing infection.

    2. Always wash and dry your hands before and after handling a new tattoo site.

    3. Your new tattoo will consist of an area of tiny skin breaks, caused by the tattooing needles. Therefore, it should be kept covered for at least an hour afterwards, using the sterile, non-adherent dressing applied by your practitioner. Do not leave it on for more than 4 hours after it is applied. This dressing is only intended to get you home without the treated area catching on clothing, or being exposed to the air. The dressing will also help to stop any bleeding/fluid oozing, but should be removed before it dries on the treated area.

    4. After removal of that dressing, gently wash the tattoo site with warm water and pat dry with a clean hand towel or tissue. Do not rub, or the skin will become irritated.

    5. On the day of your tattoo it is recommended that you should re-cover the tattoo area with cling film over night to protect the area whilst you sleep.



    6. Repeat point 4 - cleaning the tattoo site - as soon as you wake up the next morning. If needed, you may apply an aftercare cream to the tattoo. Only use the aftercare cream advised by your tattoo artist.

    7. If possible, shower rather than bathe whilst the tattoo is healing, so that unnecessary water exposure is prevented.

    8. Do not use any skin products on the tattoed area that have not been recommended by your tattoo artist, or are not intended for open wound healing. You may apply moisturising cream 2-3 times a day to assist healing and prevent skin cracking, but avoid petroleum based creams as they may affect the colour of the treated area. There is generally no need to use any other skin creams/antiseptic products, and you should not share skin products with others.

    9. After approximately two weeks, any scabbing should have gone, and the scabs replaced with new, intact skin. The area should be completely healed in a further 10-14 days.

    10. Avoid swimming, sun beds and sun bathing until your new tattoo is fully healed, as direct sunlight and chlorine can interact with tattoo dye pigments causing skin irritation and inflammation.

    11. Try to wear loose, cotton clothing to minimise rubbing and irritation to a new tattoo site.

    12. Always keep a new tattoo covered and protected if working in a dirty/dusty/oily environment.

    If you have any problems or queries, contact your tattoo artist initially. They may refer you onto your GP if there are signs of adverse reaction or infection.

  • Please contact your artist on what payment method they prefer. A cash point is located just a few minutes across the road on Queens Crescent, outside the Post Office.

  • In line with government advice it is your choice if you wear a face mask during your appointment.

    Please let us know if you’d like your tattoo artist to wear a face mask, we’d be happy to accommodate this request.

    Facemasks are also available in the studio.

  • You are allowed to bring snacks and drinks to the studio to have in the waiting area. It is advisable to bring something if you have a long appointment. Tea, coffee and water are available for you at the studio.

  • Please aim to arrive 10 minutes before your tattoo appointment. We can offer you tea, coffee and water while you wait.

  • You can bring a friend / partner to support you, however if the studio is busy they will have to sit in the waiting area.


    Do not bring a group of friends with you, the studio isn’t big enough for people to bring more than one person to their appointment.
