Tattoo Care

How Long Does it Take a Tattoo to Heal?

Like so many other things in life, it varies. The fact of the matter is that tattooing damages the skin — gloriously — but it takes time to heal properly. The visible healing will occur over the next two to three weeks, but the dermis can take as long as six months. That’s why it’s essential that you give the skin the nutrients it requires to rebuild. Organink tattoo butter is an organic, vegan product that encourages skin healing.

How Do I Take Care of My Tattoo?

Definitely consult your artist about how to care for a tattoo, but in case you forgot the instructions, here are some basics. Tattoo care during the first few days is crucial to avoid infection. Use a natural, moisturizing, antimicrobial soap to keep your tattoo clean. We recommend our ORGANINK aftercare products because we know the exact ingredients and how they’re sourced. Rinse the product off, dab dry with a paper towel or regular towel, and apply Organink tattoo butter to promote moisturization and healing. You can continue using these products indefinitely to properly maintain your tattoo. Do not apply sunscreen on your tattoo until it's fully healed.

How Do I Clean My Tattoo?

To use Organink Cleansing soap product, apply them to the tattooed area, scrub for 30 seconds, rinse, and pat dry. Be gentle with your art, especially with new ink. Apply a thin layer of Organink tattoo butter to the tattooed area to condition the skin.

How Often Should I Wash My Tattoo?

We recommend washing a new tattoo two times a day to eliminate the risk of infection and as part of the healing process. Of course, once the skin is healed, you can wash your tattoo as often as wash the rest of your body.
