Aftercare Day 21+ | Color Retention

During the color retention phase (day 21+), your tattoo may appear healed, but your body is still recovering beneath the skin. This is the perfect time to switch to long-term aftercare. Daily hydration and protection with Daily Tattoo Care or Daily Oil Spray keeps your skin supple and your tattoo vibrant. Always protect your tattoo from the sun ☀️ with sun protection with SPF30 or SPF50. This will keep the colors intense and sharp, year after year.

A beautiful tattoo deserves ongoing attention – even when it seems already healed.


How to care for your tattoo from day 21 onwards

  • Switch to TattooMed Daily Tattoo Care or Daily Tattoo Oil Spray for daily hydration & protection
  • Always protect your tattoo from strong sun with TattooMed Sun Protection (SPF30 or SPF50) or Sun Folie
  • Continue to care for your tattoo daily, even if it looks "healed"
  • Keep your skin supple and prevent fading, so that the colors remain intense and sharp
  • Combine hydration and sun protection for long-lasting color retention
