Bali's tropical heat, humidity, and tempting ocean waves require extra care during the first two weeks of healing. Here is our official studio aftercare guide to protect your new investment.
1. Keep it Clean and Dry
Wash your tattoo twice daily using lukewarm water and mild fragrance-free antibacterial soap. Gently pat dry with a clean paper towel — never rub.
2. The Golden Rule: Avoid Ocean & Pools
Never submerge your fresh tattoo in swimming pools, hot tubs, or the ocean for at least 14 days. Bacteria in natural water can cause severe infections and fade pigment before the dermal layer seals.
3. Sun Protection
Keep your tattoo shielded from direct tropical sunlight. Once fully healed (3 to 4 weeks), always apply SPF 50+ mineral sunscreen to maintain pitch-black vibrancy.
4. Hydration & Healing Balm
Apply our organic aftercare balm in very thin layers. Over-moisturizing can clog pores, leading to breakouts and delayed healing.
