Tattoo aftercare — the first 3 weeks

Follow these steps for 3 weeks after your session.

• Do not swim.

• Do not sleep on the tattoo.

• Avoid the gym for 2 weeks.

• When washing, use unscented soap gently and rinse off. No scrubbing.

• Keep it out of the sun.

• When it itches, do not scratch — gently slap it until the itch goes away.

• Apply Grabacin 4 times a day or more. Never let it dry out, so carry the tube with you.

• Remove the foil after 7 days and wash gently with soap and water.

• Peeling starts after about 4 days. Do not pick the flakes — let them fall off naturally.

• Drink lots of water and stay hydrated.

Removal and brows

How much is tattoo removal?

From KSh 4,500 a session for small tattoos. The bigger the tattoo, the higher the price per session.

How many removal sessions will I need?

Usually 3 to 5 sessions for a thorough removal.

Microblading or microshading?

Microblading draws fine hair strokes; microshading gives a soft, powdered brow. We help you choose at your appointment.
