Aftercare Explained

Day of the treatment: Absorb

  • Gently blot the area with a clean makeup pad to absorb excess lymph fluid.
  • Do this every 30 minutes for the full day until oozing has stopped.
  • This process cannot be overdone, removing this fluid prevents hardening of the lymph.

Days 1-7: Wash & Moisturize

Step by step instructions to follow each morning and evening:

  1. Wash Pre-rinse your new tattooed area using clean, sterile water Pat dry with a makeup pad
  2. Use a gentle touch with your fingertips only to cleanse the tattooed area for 10 seconds with soap. KK Beauty recommends using Cetaphil, Neutrogena or a similar product
  3. Rinse with sterile water ensuring that all soap is rinsed away Pat dry with a makeup pad
  4. Apply a rice grain amount of the provided ointment with a cotton swab and spread it across the treated area. Do not over-apply as this will suffocate your skin and delay healing. The ointment should be barely noticeable on the skin. Never put the ointment on a wet or damp tattoo.
