At Bruno Freitas, your health and the longevity of your tattoo are our top priorities. Proper aftercare ensures that your artwork heals beautifully and remains vibrant for years to come.

 Day 1: Initial Care

• Leave the bandage on for 2–4 hours after your session (or as advised by your artist).
• Wash your hands before touching the tattoo.
• Gently wash the tattoo with lukewarm water and mild, fragrance-free soap.
• Pat dry with a clean paper towel. Do not rub.
• Apply a thin layer of aftercare ointment (Aquaphor, Hustle Butter, etc.).

 Days 2–7: Healing Phase

• Wash the tattoo twice a day (morning and night).
• Apply a light layer of ointment 2–3 times a day.
• Avoid over-moisturizing. Your skin should breathe.
•  

⚠️ Important: Do NOT

• Do not scratch, peel, or pick at the tattoo (even if it itches).
• Do not expose it to the sun, pools, hot tubs, ocean water, or saunas.
• Do not use scented lotions, Vaseline, or alcohol-based products.
•  

 After 1 Week:

• Switch to a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer (like Aveeno, Lubriderm, etc.).
• Continue applying moisturizer daily until fully healed (about 3–4 weeks).
• You may notice mild flaking — this is normal. Let it peel naturally.

☀️ Long-Term Care:

• Always use SPF 30+ sunscreen on your tattoo once healed.
• Stay hydrated and keep your skin healthy for long-lasting results.
•
