If you’ve just gotten a tattoo at Fame Tattoo Kata Beach, congratulations! Now comes the most important part — tattoo aftercare. Proper healing ensures your tattoo stays vibrant, clean, and free from infection. Whether you're a tourist in Phuket or a local, this guide will help you take care of your fresh ink the right way.
Why Tattoo Aftercare Matters
Healing your tattoo is just as important as choosing the right tattoo artist. When done correctly, proper tattoo healing:
-
Prevents infection
-
Maintains color vibrancy
-
Avoids unnecessary scabbing and fading
-
Preserves design clarity
Step-by-Step Tattoo Aftercare Instructions (First 48 Hours)
✅ Step 1: Remove the plastic wrap after one hour.
✅ Step 2: Gently wash the tattoo using warm water and antibacterial soap.
✅ Step 3: Pat it dry with a clean towel — do not rub!
⚠️ Important:
-
Do not apply any cream or lotion during the first 48 hours.
-
Avoid scratching, rubbing, or picking the tattooed area.
-
Wash your tattoo gently 4–5 times daily to keep it clean and allow your skin to breathe.
After 48 Hours – Time to Moisturize
Once the first 48 hours have passed, keeping your tattoo hydrated is key to preventing cracking or excessive scabbing.
One gentle and commonly recommended option is Bepanthen Tattoo Cream, which many artists and clients trust for its lightweight texture and skin-soothing properties.
💡 While not required, Bepanthen is a safe and fragrance-free option that supports healing without irritating your fresh ink.
Apply a small amount of moisturizing cream (like Bepanthen or another tattoo-safe lotion) twice a day. Always use clean hands before applying anything to your tattoo.
