Recommended products can be found on the product page.
After receiving Sak Yant, wait at least three hours to wash the area. Make sure to use only unscented anti-bacterial soap for washing the tattooed area. Scented soaps may cause the area to swell or burn.
Wash the tattoed area 2-3 times per day. General healing depending on the size of the area tattooed may take between 2-6 weeks. After washing the tattoo, apply ointment to help heal and prevent infections. Do not use petroleum-based products. Petroleum-based products do not allow the tattoo to breathe in order properly heal.
During the healing process do not allow the tattoo to become dry. Use a small amount of ointment to cover the tattoo. If the tattoo is shiny in appearance, too much ointment has been used. The tattoo should never feel wet.
After 3-6 days the tattoo will begin "shedding", during this time the scab is formed. Switch from ointment to lotion. Once again use non-scented lotion. Apply the lotion several times a day.
