Tattoo Aftercare: Heal Guide

New tattoo? Know exactly what to do and avoid today - wash, moisturize, sun, swim, gym - as your skin moves through each healing stage day by day.

Caring for a new tattoo means a different right answer almost every day. Tattoo Aftercare tells you what to do and what to avoid today, recalculated each day as your skin moves through its stages.

A fresh tattoo is an open wound that changes daily: oozing, then scabbing, then peeling, then a dull milky look before it settles. The flaking and cloudiness look alarming, but they are normal - and the most common ways a tattoo gets ruined are picking scabs and going back to sweat, water, or sun too early.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Add your tattoo: placement date, body part, size, ink type, skin type, and dressing.
2. The app works out your current stage and how your timeline shifts for slower areas like joints, hands, and feet.
3. You get today's care steps and a clear status for gym, pool, sun, soaking, and sauna - with the date each one becomes safe.

It takes seconds to set up. No account required.

CORE FEATURES

Today's Care Steps Wash and moisturize cues for the stage you are actually in, not a generic checklist - with the reason behind each one.
