Immediate Aftercare:

After getting your tattoo, your artist will clean the area and wrap it with a bandage to start the healing process. Initial bleeding, swelling, and redness are normal. Our tattoo aftercare cream is here to help keep your skin clean, moisturized, and protected from irritants.


Initial Healing (Days 1-7):

During the first week post-tattoo, your skin will begin to form scabs as the healing process starts. Experiencing tenderness and itching is common. Skin Fuel's formula calms the skin, making it feel better and reducing the chance of scars. This gentle formula helps your tattoo heal smoothly and ensures it looks its best.


Peeling and Flaking (Days 7-14):

In the second week, you may notice peeling and flaking as the top layer of skin sheds. It’s best to refrain from touching or rubbing the skin to protect the tattoo. Skin Fuel aids in maintaining skin hydration, averting dryness, and encouraging healthy skin exfoliation. The non-greasy texture makes healing comfortable.


Settling and Maturation (Weeks 2-4):

By the end of the second week and into the fourth, your ink will settle into its final appearance. Colors may become more vibrant as the skin fully heals. Skin Fuel's special formula helps soothe the skin and promote healing, making sure the tattoo heals well and looks bright.


Final Healing and Touch-Ups (Weeks 4-6+):

As your tattoo nears complete healing, address any areas needing touch-ups. Skin Fuel provides ongoing nourishment and protection, keeping your art fresh and vibrant.

With Skin Fuel, confidently showcase your healed ink, knowing it received proper care. Skin Fuel is gentle for all skin types, fragrance-free, and non-allergic, ensuring excellent aftercare for everyone.
