BlACKOUT TaTTOO

AFTERCaRE:

Keep the initial wrap on overnight. Don’t remove it until the morning after your session unless instructed otherwise. Your skin needs that barrier to start the healing process.
Nope. Blackout work is entirely different—heavier saturation = more trauma to the skin. A more precise aftercare process is needed to avoid patchiness, infections, or blowouts.
If it looks shiny or greasy, you used too much. Always apply very thin layers—multiple times a day if needed. Tight skin = dry skin.

Usually around day 4, once the skin starts settling. At that point, switch to a white, unscented lotion like Lubriderm, Aveeno, or Eucerin—or Hustle Butter if preferred.
Let it peel naturally. Do not pick, scratch, or rub. Shower quickly, rinse gently, and keep the tattoo out of direct running water. Soaked scabs ruin blackout results.
About 2 weeks for surface healing, but full healing may take longer. Everyone’s skin is different. Keep moisturizing, avoid sun, sweat, swimming, or saunas until fully healed.
