A new tattoo should be treated as a long-term investment. As the skin is temporarily compromised, the care provided during the initial healing phase directly impacts pigment retention, clarity, and overall tattoo quality.
Whether you are an artist providing tattoo aftercare guidance or an individual with fresh ink, this guide offers a clear, day-by-day healing protocol. Using Sinners Rabbit professional aftercare products, it is designed to support optimal skin recovery and long-term visual integrity.
This structured healing approach helps protect the skin barrier, preserve ink vibrancy, and promote efficient recovery.
Why Tattoo Aftercare Matters
Proper aftercare:
- Prevents infection and irritation
- Reduces redness, swelling, and itching
- Preserves color saturation and line sharpness
- Supports faster, healthier skin regeneration
Sinners Rabbit aftercare is designed to regulate moisture, protect compromised skin, and promote efficient tattoo healing without restricting oxygen flow.
Day 0–1: Fresh Tattoo (First 24 Hours)
What’s happening:
The skin is open, sensitive, and actively inflamed. Plasma, ink residue, and mild swelling are normal.
What to Do
- Keep the tattoo covered as advised by your artist
- Gently cleanse with lukewarm water (no harsh rubbing)
- Pat dry with a clean towel—never wipe
Use: Tattoo Vitamins – Protecting & Healing Balm
Apply a thin layer after cleaning.
Why it works:
- Soothes irritation and reduces redness
- Supports early‑stage skin regeneration
- Acts as a protective tattoo aftercare cream
- Prevents dryness without over‑moisturizing
Pro tip for artists: Less is more. Over‑application can slow healing.
Day 2–3: Oozing Stops, Healing Begins
What’s happening:
The tattoo begins to seal. Redness decreases, but the skin may feel tight or warm.
What to Do
- Clean 2–3 times daily
- Avoid soaking (no baths, pools, or swimming)
- Wear loose, clean clothing
Use: Tattoo Vitamins – Protecting & Healing Balm
Continue applying 2–3 times a day.
Key benefits at this stage:
- Keeps skin moisturized and elastic
- Reduces inflammation and sensitivity
- Encourages healthy cell growth
- Works as a daily tattoo care cream for fresh ink
Day 4–7: Peeling & Itching Phase
What’s happening:
Flaking, peeling, and itching begin—this is normal. The tattoo may look dull or cloudy.
What to Do
- Do not scratch or pick
- Clean gently, once or twice daily
- Avoid direct sunlight
Switch To: Tattoo Aftercare Healing Booster – Protecting & Nourishing Oil
Apply a light layer as needed.
Why it’s essential now:
- Deeply moisturizes like a premium Healing Booster
- Reduces itching, redness, and swelling
- Protects ink from color fading
- Forms a light barrier against external irritants
Client reminder: Peeling skin is not ink coming out—leave it alone.
Week 2: Skin Renewal Phase
What’s happening:
The skin on the surface looks healed, but the deeper layers are still regenerating. Mild dryness may remain.
What to Do
- Maintain daily moisturizing
- Begin gentle sun avoidance habits
- Keep the area clean and hydrated
Use: Healing Booster Oil (Daily)
Benefits during week 2:
- Maintains hydration without heaviness
- Enhances natural tattoo shine cream effects
- Supports long‑term color vibrancy
- Strengthens the skin barrier
Week 3–4: Tattoo Settling & Strengthening
What’s happening:
The tattoo settles into the skin. Colors sharpen, and texture normalizes.
Ongoing Care
- Moisturize daily with tattoo cream or tattoo ointment
- Avoid prolonged sun exposure
- Use sunscreen once fully healed
