Once investing in a piece of art on your body, we advise you to diligently follow the correct aftercare steps to ensure that you have a smooth healing journey, and your tattoo looks beautiful for years to come.
We only recommend tattoo-formulated products to ensure the wound is cared for and the ink is protected.
As the skin heals, the body will naturally scab and if that scab comes off prematurely it can cause ink fallout.
It takes around 4-6 weeks for your tattoo to fully heal. *Please refer to terms and conditions.

Whether you were pierced with us or elsewhere, we offer full aftercare services. If you were pierced with us, we can schedule your FREE health checks and jewellery change.
Piercings can take up to a year to fully heal and our aftercare service is available throughout the healing journey.
Never assume its healed because 'it feels fine' and never leave a piercing channel empty. If you'd like to change your jewellery or are unsure of your healing progress, give us a call to book an aftercare appointment.

As experienced professionals, registered and approved by the Environmental Health Office, we will only recommend the safest products to aid your healing skin and for best results.
Don't take it as a sales pitch, you've invested in your new piece and its vitally important its stays healthy and looking it's best.

At Love & Ink, we believe that tattoos and piercings are an art form. They are also, however, a wound to the body that requires time, care and attention to heal correctly. Once you have your new piece we will give you all the aftercare advice and guidance according to healthcare professionals. It is then down to you to follow it with the reassurance that we are here for you every step of the way when you need us.
