Aftercare Guide

  • Cleanse

    After you get home, remove your bandage and gently cleanse your tattoo with non-scented antibacterial soap. Massage the area to remove any blood, then pat dry. Mad Rabbit offers an excellent soap option—

    Once your tattoo is all clean and dry, apply a thin layer of Aquaphor to protect the ink. For a premium alternative, Mad Rabbit’s balms and ointments are a great option to explore—

    Healing takes about 3-4 weeks, so stick to your routine. Keep your tattoo clean, moisturized, and protected during this time. Mad Rabbit products can help keep your ink looking its best—

Keep in Mind

  • Water

    Keep your healing tattoo dry. Showering is fine, but avoid submerging your tattoo in oceans, pools, baths, etc. Your tattoo needs to stay dry to heal properly.

  • Sunlight

    Fresh ink and direct sunlight don’t mix. UV rays can fade your tattoo, so keep it covered or stay in the shade while it heals.

  • Pets

    We love our pets, but their hair and dander can irritate your fresh tattoo. Try to keep them away from your new ink to avoid any irritation.
