Congratulations on your new tattoo! You sat well on your session. The next important thing is your aftercare. Many artists recommend different types of aftercare and you are welcome to google or research tattoo aftercare and use any method you feel confident in.
The reason for our choice of aftercare which is Headrush Healing Gel is, it’s a tattoo aftercare sealant gel that goes on wet and dries in minutes forming a skin that protects your tattoo from dirt and bacteria, while soothing and healing with all natural organic ingredients. Leave on for 2 - 24 hours, on the next day wash off and reapply, do this for 3-4 days.
The only method Headrush is recommending and endorsing to our clients are the following:
Your artist will apply a natural product, Headrush Healing Gel to your new tattoo. After a few minutes, it will dry and replicate a second layer of skin protecting your tattoo from infection and helps with healing.
When you leave our shop, we recommend the same method of using the Headrush Healing Gel, leave it on for up to 2-24 hours, wash off the next day and reapply gel, do this for 3-4 days. If it gets wet, reapply as needed, wash the area after removal of the gel layer, please DO NOT use soap. (We recommend washing and not peeling)
Day 4 of your tattoo, we recommend using our Headrush Fast Healing Butter until fully healed. Apply butter multiple times a day, not allowing the tattoo to scab or dry up, it will help with the itching stage also.
IMPORTANT:
Please note that any other method of aftercare, Headrush Tattoos will not be responsible for touch ups or fixing tattoo areas that did not heal properly.
If in fact, you followed our aftercare program and poor healing occurs, please reach out to us and we can review it.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Can I shower while wearing Headrush Healing Gel?
Yes you can but it is not waterproof. So the gel will wash off and you will have to reapply the gel.
Can I sunbathe with it on?
Headrush Healing Gel does not contain any kind of sun protection. You must avoid prolonged sun or UV-ray exposure. We do not recommend exposing your unhealed tattoo to UV-rays ever, with or without Headrush Healing Gel. Even after removing the Healing Gel, continue to use sun protection to maintain the fullness of your tattoo colour.
Do you offer touch ups?
Yes, but with some conditions, please see info above “IMPORTANT”.
If you have followed our aftercare program and need touch up, you must book the touch up within the two (2) month period from when you originally got it. Anything more than 2 months will be an hourly rate.
We normally charge $21 for touch ups, some restrictions apply for medium to larger piece tattoos.
We DO NOT offer free touch ups on hands/fingers/face/feet tattoos.
What should I do if I have any further questions during my healing process?
We highly recommend that you contact our shop first before doing anything.
