Your Ultimate Guide to Tattoo Aftercare: Keep Your Ink Vibrant and Healthy

You booked the appointment, survived the needle, tipped your artist — and now you’re wondering why your new tattoo looks like it’s trying to escape your skin. Don’t panic. That’s normal. But what happens next? That’s up to you.

Here’s your quick, no-BS guide to tattoo aftercare that actually works, including the only two products you really need:✨ Mad Rabbit Soothing Gel🖤 and Mad Rabbit Aftercare Balm.

🔥 Day 1–3: Keep It Cool, Keep It Clean

Your skin is inflamed, sensitive, and healing from a controlled trauma. What it doesn’t need: thick ointments, suffocating balms, or your dirty hands.

Mad Rabbit Box Set

• Lightweight and cooling

• Packed with aloe, chamomile, and vitamin C

• Helps reduce inflammation and redness fast

  
  

Clean your tattoo gently twice a day with warm water and a mild, fragrance-free cleanser. Then pat dry (don’t rub) and apply a thin layer of Soothing Gel. Thank us later.

💎 Day 4–14: Hydrate Without the Grease

Once the swelling’s gone down and the tattoo starts peeling, it’s time to switch to something more nourishing. Enter: Mad Rabbit Aftercare Balm. This all-natural balm helps:

• Lock in moisture

• Prevent scabbing and itchiness

• Enhance vibrancy during healing

  
  

Unlike petroleum-based junk, it lets your skin breathe. And yes — it smells divine.

🧼 Ongoing Care: Don’t Be That Person

Your tattoo doesn’t stop needing care just because it’s “technically healed.” Hydration and SPF matter forever. We can't get enough of DEFEND Tattoo SPF.

🌟 Why Aftercare Matters

Aftercare is crucial for maintaining the quality of your tattoo. Proper care ensures that the colors remain vibrant and the lines stay sharp. Neglecting your tattoo can lead to fading and even infection. So, treat your ink with the respect it deserves!

💡 Tips for Successful Healing

1. Avoid Direct Sunlight: Keep your tattoo out of the sun, especially during the first few weeks. UV rays can fade your ink.

2. Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water. Hydration helps your skin heal faster.

3. Don’t Scratch: If your tattoo itches, resist the urge to scratch. Instead, apply more Soothing Gel or Aftercare Balm.

4. Wear Loose Clothing: Tight clothes can irritate your tattoo. Opt for loose-fitting garments to allow your skin to breathe.
