The Tattoo Healing Process

After getting a tattoo, the healing process is crucial for ensuring that the design heals correctly and maintains its vividness. Typically, a tattoo takes about 2-3 weeks to heal, but the duration may vary depending on the size and placement of the tattoo. Moon Sheen Tattoo provides clients with comprehensive aftercare instructions to ensure proper healing. This includes keeping the tattoo clean, moisturizing it regularly, and avoiding sun exposure during the initial healing phase. Proper aftercare not only promotes healing but also helps in preserving the integrity and vibrancy of the tattoo over time.

Tattoo Aftercare

  1. If You Have Tegaderm Bandaging – Keep It On for 3 Days

    A little ink bleeding under the bandage? No worries—that’s completely normal! When it’s time to remove the bandage, gently clean off any excess ink with a damp paper towel, pat the area dry, and apply a thin layer of A&D ointment.

    However, if you notice redness, irritation, or bumps around the bandage, or if water seeps underneath, remove it right away and follow the standard aftercare routine.
  2. If your tattoo is covered with standard plastic wrap and tape, leave it on for at least 2-3 hours, or even overnight if possible.

    It’s always better to keep the bandage on longer rather than risk washing your tattoo in an unsanitary environment. Do not re-bandage unless you’ve spoken with us first.
  3. CLEAN YOUR TATTOO WITH ANTIBACTERIAL SOAP

    Gently wash your tattoo using lukewarm water and unscented antibacterial soap. Avoid soaking or submerging it in water.
  4. GENTLY PAT DRY

    Use a clean paper towel to pat the area dry, then allow it to air dry for 10–15 minutes before applying aftercare.
  5. USE A THIN LAYER OF A&D OINTMENT

    For the first three days, apply a light layer of A&D ointment to your tattoo. After that, switch to an unscented body lotion for 1–2 weeks. Make sure to use a fragrance-free lotion, as scented products often contain additives that can irritate your tattoo.
  6. AS YOUR TATTOO HEALS

    In the days following your tattoo, you may notice it peeling like a sunburn—this is completely normal. You might also see small flakes of colored skin shedding. If any areas develop scabs, allow them to fall off naturally.

    Do not scratch, pick, or over-soak your tattoo in the shower, as excessive moisture can soften the scabs too much, causing them to come off too soon and leaving empty spots that may require a touch-up.

    While healing, avoid direct sun exposure, swimming pools, hot tubs, saunas, and the ocean. Do not submerge your tattoo in water of any kind until it's fully healed.
  7. FINAL REMINDERS

    As your tattoo heals, keep these important guidelines in mind:
    • Avoid direct sun exposure and prolonged contact with water.
    • Do not re-bandage your tattoo after the initial covering is removed.
    • Resist the urge to pick or scratch at your tattoo to prevent irritation and ensure proper healing.
    Taking care of your tattoo properly will help it heal beautifully!
