Aftercare is very important for a tattoo to ensure that it heals well and reduces any risk of infection.

Tattoo aftercare is simple, just follow these steps:

1. Remove the dressing after 6 hours

2. Gently wash your tattoo with warm soapy water. 

3. Pat dry with a paper towel.

4. Apply a small amount of a moisturiser, such as A&D ointment or coco butter. 

5. Redress the tattoo with cling film for the first night only. 

6. Repeat steps 2-4 twice a day until the tattoo is fully healed. 

Do not pick, scratch, soak or sun bathe your new tattoo!

We always prefer cash but you can also pay via bank transfer. 

Yes, we are accessible for wheelchair users. There is a small 2 inch step at the entrance, but all wheelchair users that have visited have been able to get over it easily. Please contact us at oldvolttattoo@gmail.com if you have any other questions.
