  • Wait at least 3 days before going to the gym and prevent heavy lifting.
  • Protect your tattoo from the sun.
  • No swimming, bathing or sauna for 3 weeks.
  • Don’t let anyone touch your tattoo while healing.
  • Always clean your hands before and after using your tattoo cream. If you take more cream, don’t touch the tube or jar. That prevents bacteria from getting into the cream.
