A beautiful tattoo deserves proper care. At Lethal Ink Tattoo Pattaya, we’re committed to ensuring your tattoo heals perfectly in Thailand’s tropical climate.
How to Care for Your New Tattoo
Proper aftercare keeps your tattoo vibrant and your skin healthy. Follow these steps carefully for the best results:
1. Do not wrap your tattoo if possible
We recommend leaving your tattoo unwrapped after your session to allow the skin to breathe naturally. Covering it unnecessarily can trap moisture and slow healing.
2. Keep it clean – but dry
Do not apply creams, lotions, or soap for the first 3 days after getting your tattoo.
Gently rinse with clean water if needed, but avoid any soaps or products during this period.
3. Moisturize lightly after 3 days
After the first 3 days, begin applying a very thin layer of moisturizer or organic healing cream 2–3 times daily. Avoid heavy or scented lotions — they can clog pores and affect color healing.
4. Avoid sun and water
For at least 2 weeks, avoid direct sunlight, swimming pools, and saunas.
Sun exposure can fade fresh ink, and submerging the tattoo can cause infection or pigment loss.
5. Don’t pick or scratch
As your tattoo heals, it may peel or itch slightly — this is normal.
Do not scratch or peel it, as this can pull out ink and cause uneven healing.
