Healing advice for Bangkok heat, sweat, sun, swimming, beach trips, and travel.
How to care for a new tattoo in Bangkok
Bangkok heat, humidity, sweat, sun, and travel plans can all affect a fresh tattoo. Good aftercare starts with following your artist instructions, keeping the tattoo clean, and avoiding anything that soaks, rubs, or overheats the skin while it is healing.

Cleaning and moisturizing
Wash your hands before touching the tattoo. Clean the area gently as instructed, pat it dry with a clean towel, and use only the recommended amount of aftercare product. Too much product can trap moisture and irritation.
Sun, swimming, and Thailand travel
Avoid swimming pools, beaches, hot tubs, baths, and soaking until the tattoo is healed. Keep a fresh tattoo out of direct sun. If you are flying, walking around Bangkok, or traveling in Thailand, wear loose clothing and keep the area clean.
When to contact the studio
Contact Studio One if you are unsure about healing, if the tattoo has been irritated by travel or sun, or if you need artist-specific aftercare advice.
