Tattoo Healing Stages

Week One: Swelling & Redness

In the first days, feeling like a sunburn is normal. This is the most crucial time to follow our golden 7-day aftercare protocol.

Peeling & Itching Phase

By day 4, the skin starts peeling and getting itchy. Read our guide on distinguishing infection from natural peeling for peace of mind.

Proper Restrictions

Wrong eating habits can cause swelling and pus. See details in our dos and don'ts after a tattoo.
