Your Aftercare Instructions card

• What the card covers

  The card is organised into sections so a client can scan to what they need. For a tattoo artist that's a general aftercare philosophy, what to avoid (clothing, sun, water), recommended products and how often to apply them, and a healing timeline. Other disciplines get a version shaped to how their work heals — a piercer's card, for example, includes healing times for different placements.

  Everything starts pre-filled with sensible defaults. Treat it as a draft to adjust to your own approach rather than a blank page.

• Method sections you switch on

  Some sections are optional and controlled by a switch — you turn on the methods you actually use, and only those show to clients and count toward the card's completion. A tattoo artist, for instance, can switch on a second skin method (with how long to keep it on and how to remove it) and a traditional foil method (with a removal time), and leave off whichever they don't use.

  Filling the main sections and the methods you've switched on takes the card to 100%.

Frequently asked questions

Do clients see this before or after booking?

It's public on your profile at any time, but it's written for after the appointment — it's the care guidance your client follows while healing. Keeping it accurate saves you repeating the same instructions in messages.

I don't use one of the methods shown. Do I have to fill it in?

No. The method sections have switches — leave the ones you don't use turned off and they won't show to clients or count against your completion.
