20 Simple Black and Grey Astrology Tattoo Ideas That Are Elegant Moody and Absolutely Striking

Sitting in a tattoo consultation at midnight? Been scrolling Pinterest for hours and still undecided? You're not alone — astrology tattoos live at the sweet spot between personal symbolism and timeless aesthetic. If a moody, elegant vibe is what you want, these black and grey astrology tattoo ideas will give you everything from delicate wrist constellations to bold neo-traditional planetary pieces.

This list covers 20 designs that lean into that moody monochrome — fine line, blackwork, stipple, and neo-traditional approaches — so you can pick a style that fits your tolerance for pain, desired visibility, and long-term maintenance. Each idea includes a photo prompt, a design breakdown, artist-hunting tips, and realistic aftercare advice.

Prep tip: for sensitive placements like ribs, I often suggest applying Zensa numbing cream about 45–60 minutes before the session. And when your session is done, a Saniderm-style second skin protects early healing — search Saniderm/Tegaderm wraps if you want the same coverage. Save your favorite looks and bring the images to your consultation — that'll speed things up and help you get the exact moody finish you want.

  1. Minimal Constellation Wrist Band

This slim wrist band maps a short run of a constellation — think Cassiopeia or Leo — into a delicate line that wraps slightly around the wrist. It's subtle and intimate, perfect if you want an astrology nod that reads like jewelry rather than a statement. The single-needle fine line with tiny dot stars sits flush on the skin and ages gracefully if protected from sun.

Style & Design Details

  • Tattoo style: fine line, single-needle, minimal dotwork
  • Recommended size: 1–3 inches, thin band width 2–4 mm
  • Best placement(s): dorsal wrist, inner wrist, or just above the ulna for a neck-of-hand jewelry feel
  • Color vs. blackwork: pure black and grey wash keeps the look moody and crisp
  • Design elements: single-needle lines, micro-dot stars, very light stipple for faint horizon line, negative space breaks, optional tiny crushed moon crescent
  • Longevity note: fine lines can blur over years; regular SPF on the wrist preserves detail
  • Who it suits: first-timers, minimalists, astrology fans who wear bracelets

Finding the Right Artist
Look for portfolios with healed fine-line wrists and micro-dotwork pieces. Ask how the artist handles single-needle work and their approach to preventing blowouts on thin skin. Avoid artists who specialize only in heavy blackwork or traditional flash for a single-needle ask. An experienced fine-line artist is ideal; apprentices may struggle with consistency. Instagram tags like #finelinetattoo or #minimaltattoo will surface the right portfolios.

Aftercare & Healing Tips
Keep the area covered with a Saniderm/Tegaderm patch for 2–3 days for wrist placements — it reduces rubbing from sleeves. Wash gently with a fragrance-free soap such as Dr. Bronner's unscented soap twice daily and switch to a thin layer of Lubriderm fragrance-free lotion during peeling. Avoid bracelets and watches until the tattoo fully settles (4–6 weeks).

  1. Micro Zodiac Symbol Behind the Ear

A tiny zodiac glyph tucked behind the ear is the perfect secret signifier. It’s small, discreet, and has an intimate energy. Because the area is curved, the glyph can be scaled tiny but still legible, and the moody black and grey ink keeps it subtle.

Style & Design Details

  • Tattoo style: minimal/ micro-traditional glyph, crisp blackwork
  • Recommended size: 0.3–0.7 inches — very small
  • Best placement(s): behind the ear, mastoid area, behind the occipital edge
  • Color vs. blackwork: solid black with a soft grey halo if desired to reduce stark contrast
  • Design elements: bold micro glyph, minimal negative space, possible tiny dot cluster to anchor design
  • Longevity note: small black shapes do well but can merge if overloaded; simple lines age best
  • Who it suits: those wanting a discreet personal mark, music festival-goers, introverts

Finding the Right Artist
Search for artists who post healed behind-ear pieces and micro-blackwork. Ask about needle size and how they prevent ink migration in cartilage-adjacent areas. A seasoned artist with micro experience is preferable; an apprentice might overwork the spot.

Aftercare & Healing Tips
Cartilage-adjacent spots can sting and are slower to settle. Clean gently with a mild soap and pat dry. After 24–48 hours of initial wrap, switch to a thin application of Hustle Butter Deluxe tattoo aftercare balm so the small area stays supple without clogging pores. Avoid hair products and direct sun on that spot while healing.

  1. Stippled Moon Phase Forearm Band

A continuous moon-phase band wraps the forearm with a textured, moody rhythm. Stipple shading gives the moons weight without heavy black fills, producing a vintage, almost astronomical chart feel that sits beautifully on the forearm.

Style & Design Details

  • Tattoo style: stipple/dotwork with greywash
  • Recommended size: palm-length band or wrap (4–6 inches)
  • Best placement(s): outer forearm, inner forearm, around the bicep as a semi-band
  • Color vs. blackwork: black linework with layered greywash stippling for depth
  • Design elements: crescent and full moon phases, stipple gradients, tiny star field, negative space highlights, thin dividing lines like planetary rings
  • Longevity note: stippling holds well if dot density isn't overly sparse; greywash may soften over years
  • Who it suits: collectors, dark academia and cottagecore fans, anyone into celestial cycles

Finding the Right Artist
Look for dotwork portfolios that show deliberate stippling and greywash technique. Ask how the artist builds stipple density and their preferred needle groupings. Avoid shops that only do solid blackfills; this requires patience. Find artists via #dotworktattoo or local conventions.

Aftercare & Healing Tips
Forearm heals relatively predictably. Keep the piece wrapped for the first 24–48 hours, then wash with Dr. Bronner's unscented soap. Apply a thin coat of After Inked Tattoo Moisturizer during peeling to keep stippling crisp. Avoid heavy friction from sleeves for two weeks.

  1. Geometric Zodiac Chest Mandala (black and grey astrology tattoo)

This is a symmetrical, moody mandala centered on a zodiac glyph. Geometry gives precision, while greywash brings softness. It’s a striking piece that reads like jewelry at chest level or can be scaled to a small sternum tattoo for a more private placement.

Style & Design Details

  • Tattoo style: geometric + illustrative with greywash
  • Recommended size: 3–6 inches for chest mandala, 1.5–2 inches for sternum motif
  • Best placement(s): center chest/sternum, upper sternum, between collarbones
  • Color vs. blackwork: black lines with layered greywash fills and dotwork gradients
  • Design elements: concentric circles, planetary glyphs, mandala petals, negative space starburst, thin line radial symmetry
  • Longevity note: crisp geometry ages well but fine radial lines can soften; SPF protects contrast
  • Who it suits: neo-traditional lovers, astrology symbol collectors, statement-seekers

Finding the Right Artist
Seek artists experienced with geometric symmetry and large greywash fills. Ask for photo references of healed chest geometry. Ensure they’ll stencil and position carefully to accommodate chest contours. A well-practiced artist is preferred for this level of precision.

Aftercare & Healing Tips
Sternum and chest skin can be sensitive. Keep movement minimal, avoid tight clothing, and consider applying a numbing cream like Ebanel numbing cream if you’re anxious about pain. Use Saniderm-style wraps for the first 48 hours and swap to Hustle Butter or After Inked as it peels.

  1. Comet Tail Ribcage Piece

A long, moody comet design looks dramatic along the ribcage. The tail’s dotted gradients and soft grey washes flow with the body’s curve. Rib placements are intimate and ideal for someone who wants a more private, but bold, astrology tattoo.

Style & Design Details

  • Tattoo style: illustrative blackwork with stipple gradients
  • Recommended size: 4–8 inches long following rib curvature
  • Best placement(s): along the rib line, oblique toward hip or sternum
  • Color vs. blackwork: strong black line for comet head, greywash/stipple tail
  • Design elements: comet nucleus, stippled tail, micro-constellations, negative space highlights, thin trailing lines for motion
  • Longevity note: larger ribs heal well but require sun protection when exposed
  • Who it suits: people comfortable with rib pain, collectors wanting a statement piece

Finding the Right Artist
Rib pieces demand artists who understand skin movement and can scale lines for longevity. Ask about session length, pain management, and how they’ll protect nearby shading. An experienced illustrative artist is ideal; avoid anyone who rushes placement.

Aftercare & Healing Tips
Rib tattoos can be painful and sensitive while healing. Use a numbing cream before longer sessions like Zensa if your artist approves. Keep the area wrapped if recommended. For aftercare, wash gently and use a light layer of Hustle Butter. Avoid tight bras or waistbands that rub the area for at least two weeks.

  1. Celestial Collarbone Script with Tiny Planets

A short word or name paired with tiny planetary glyphs along the collarbone reads like a whisper. The collarbone offers an elegant, visible location where fine script and minuscule astronomy icons look like wearable art.

Style & Design Details

  • Tattoo style: script + micro-illustration
  • Recommended size: 2–5 inches length following collarbone line
  • Best placement(s): along the clavicle, slightly off-center for natural flow, or just below collarbone for less visibility
  • Color vs. blackwork: crisp black script with soft grey planet shading
  • Design elements: flowing hand-lettered script, tiny circle planets, micro moons, thin connecting lines, subtle dot accents
  • Longevity note: script holds well if letters are thicker than hairline; thin tiny dots can blur over years
  • Who it suits: romantics, minimalist collectors, those seeking a chic visible tattoo

Finding the Right Artist
Bring exact script examples. Ask for healed script photos and inquire about spacing to prevent letters from merging. A hand-lettering specialist or someone with strong script examples is the right call.

Aftercare & Healing Tips
Collarbone tattoos are exposed and need sunscreen once healed. Keep it wrapped for 24 hours if your artist recommends. Wash gently and use Lubriderm fragrance-free lotion during peeling. Once healed, protect with a tattoo SPF 50 sunscreen stick when wearing low tops.

  1. Blackwork Planetary Sleeve Accent

For a bolder moody vibe, a blackwork planetary cluster as a sleeve accent anchors your arm in drama. Large black fills contrast with grey details, letting tiny constellations peek through negative space.

Style & Design Details

  • Tattoo style: blackwork with illustrative grey highlights
  • Recommended size: palm-sized to quarter-sleeve integration (6–10 inches)
  • Best placement(s): outer upper arm, inner bicep panel, or integrated into sleeves
  • Color vs. blackwork: heavy black fills balanced with greywash to prevent a flat look
  • Design elements: planet silhouettes, ringed planets, negative space stars, thin orbit lines, textured grey highlights
  • Longevity note: blackwork holds well; heavy fills may need occasional touch-ups where friction occurs
  • Who it suits: collectors, goth/dark academia aesthetics, people wanting visible statement pieces

Finding the Right Artist
You’ll want an artist experienced with even black fills and smooth gradients. Ask for healed blackwork photos taken at various times post-healing. Avoid artists who rush fills; inconsistent saturation shows when healed.

Aftercare & Healing Tips
Large blackwork areas can scab thicker. Keep moisturized with Hustle Butter or an unscented lotion. Avoid long hot tubs while healing. Touch-up timing is usually after 8–12 weeks once settled.

  1. Single-Needle Astro Wrist Glyph (black and grey astrology tattoo)

A single-needle glyph on the inner wrist is a discrete, precise expression of your sign. It’s intimate and ages with the right care, like a personal stamp you see every time you check the time.

Style & Design Details

  • Tattoo style: single-needle fine line
  • Recommended size: 0.5–1 inch
  • Best placement(s): inner wrist, inner forearm, behind the thumbnail for micro placement
  • Color vs. blackwork: black line with optional micro grey wash halo
  • Design elements: single-needle glyph, tiny dot accents, thin halo shading, micro-line flourish
  • Longevity note: single-needle lines soften over years; SPF and moisturization prolong clarity
  • Who it suits: minimalists, first-timers, those who like daily visible reminders

Finding the Right Artist
Portfolio of healed single-needle works is crucial. Ask about needle sizing and how the artist prevents overworking. An experienced fine-line artist will be best.

Aftercare & Healing Tips
Wrist areas see a lot of hand washing — pat dry and reapply After Inked sparingly. Keep out of direct sun; wrist lines can fade faster without SPF.

  1. Neo-Traditional Sun and Moon Back Piece

A neo-traditional sun and moon pair on the upper back blends bold outlines with moody greyfill. It’s dramatic but controlled, with classic shapes that read well from a distance and hold detail close up.

Style & Design Details

  • Tattoo style: neo-traditional black and grey
  • Recommended size: 6–10 inches across upper back or shoulders
  • Best placement(s): upper back, between shoulder blades, full back for expansion
  • Color vs. blackwork: bold black outlines with layered greywash fills and texture
  • Design elements: stylized sun face, crescent moon, ornamental filigree, cloud swirls, dot highlights
  • Longevity note: solid outlines age well; grey fills benefit from SPF over time
  • Who it suits: storytelling collectors, lovers of classic symbol imagery

Finding the Right Artist
Neo-traditional shading and blackwork require an artist who balances line weight with soft fills. Ask for healed back work and discuss session breakdown. A senior artist is recommended for larger pieces.

Aftercare & Healing Tips
Upper back allows for easy aftercare — keep shirt loose and avoid backpacks during early healing. Use Saniderm for the first day if your artist recommends, then switch to Hustle Butter and mild soap cleansing.

  1. Virgo Constellation Ankle Chain

Ankle constellations act like a celestial anklet. They tuck into footwear and can peak out under jeans or skirts — a subtle, romantic astrology tattoo that moves with you.

Style & Design Details

  • Tattoo style: fine line + micro-dot
  • Recommended size: 2–4 inches around ankle circumference
  • Best placement(s): around ankle bone, lateral malleolus, or top of foot for a slightly bolder read
  • Color vs. blackwork: single black lines with tiny grey dot accents
  • Design elements: connecting constellation lines, micro stars, optional tiny crescent accent, chain-like looping line
  • Longevity note: ankles see friction from socks/shoes; expect slight fading and possible touch-up needs
  • Who it suits: those who like hidden details and jewelry-like placements

Finding the Right Artist
Find someone who shows healed ankle and foot work — this region can be tricky for line consistency. Ask about shoe friction and recommended aftercare.

Aftercare & Healing Tips
Avoid tight socks and shoes while healing. Clean with gentle soap and use a light aftercare balm like After Inked. Expect minor scabbing; no soaking until fully healed.

  1. Lunar Portrait on Upper Arm

A shaded lunar face combines portraiture and symbolism in a moody black and grey rendering. It’s personal and bold without needing color, and sits beautifully on the upper arm.

Style & Design Details

  • Tattoo style: illustrative portraiture with greywash
  • Recommended size: palm-sized to half-sleeve (3–6 inches)
  • Best placement(s): outer upper arm, shoulder cap, inner bicep for private viewing
  • Color vs. blackwork: layered greywash for soft facial shading, darker black contours for definition
  • Design elements: crescent shape, subtle facial features, soft stippling, light star background, ornamental border options
  • Longevity note: portraits rely on tonal balance; dusting and touch-ups may be needed in 5–10 years depending on sun exposure
  • Who it suits: portrait lovers, people who want an emotional, symbolic centerpiece

Finding the Right Artist
You’ll want an artist who shows strong portrait and greywash examples. Discuss reference photos and how they’ll translate facial expression into simplified tattoo shading. Experienced portrait artists only.

Aftercare & Healing Tips
Keep the arm loosely covered initially and use Saniderm if your artist prefers. Wash twice daily with a mild antibacterial soap. Use Hustle Butter for moisturization, and keep it out of harsh UV during the first months.

  1. Astrological Wheel Thigh Panel

A thigh panel gives space for a detailed astrological wheel — zodiac signs, houses, or your natal chart simplified into symbols. Thigh placement is private and can be shown off selectively.

Style & Design Details

  • Tattoo style: illustrative/ornamental black and grey
  • Recommended size: 4–8 inches for detail clarity
  • Best placement(s): inner thigh, outer thigh, upper thigh pocket area
  • Color vs. blackwork: black lines with layered greywash and dotwork details
  • Design elements: circular zodiac wheel, glyphs, radial lines, small planetary icons, ornate frame
  • Longevity note: thighs tend to hold detail if tension and weight fluctuation are stable
  • Who it suits: those who want a large private piece with symbolic content

Finding the Right Artist
Pick someone who has done symmetrically balanced circular pieces. Confirm they’ll stencil and center precisely on the thigh. Ask about session length for skin that can be more tender.

Aftercare & Healing Tips
Inner thigh requires careful clothing choices to avoid chafing. Use soft fabrics and keep activity light for two weeks. Clean with gentle soap and use After Inked. Avoid steam rooms and heavy sweating during early healing.

  1. Retro Astronomical Chart Calf Sleeve

A retro chart motif with compass roses, planetary lines, and tiny glyphs reads like a page torn from an old atlas. The calf gives enough vertical real estate for a flowing, moody composition.

Style & Design Details

  • Tattoo style: illustrative/etching-style black and grey
  • Recommended size: calf-length panel (6–10 inches)
  • Best placement(s): outer calf, back of calf for visibility, or wrap slightly to inner calf
  • Color vs. blackwork: black linework with delicate grey hatch shading for an etching look
  • Design elements: compass markings, orbital lines, planet silhouettes, script labels, fine hatching
  • Longevity note: fine etched lines age well if not placed too close to high-friction spots like behind the knee
  • Who it suits: lovers of vintage illustration, collectors wanting narrative panels

Finding the Right Artist
Search for artists with etching or engraving-style portfolios. Ask for healed pieces, not just fresh photos, to see how thin hatching holds up.

Aftercare & Healing Tips
Calf areas are generally low friction but watch for tight socks or boots. Clean and moisturize with Lubriderm and protect from sun when exposed.

  1. Small Eclipse on Finger

A tiny eclipse on the finger is minimal and symbolic. Fingers heal on their own schedule and can fade faster, but when placed and inked correctly, they make a direct, tactile astrology statement.

Style & Design Details

  • Tattoo style: micro-blackwork
  • Recommended size: 0.3–0.6 inches
  • Best placement(s): ring finger side, pinky side, or between knuckles for discrete display
  • Color vs. blackwork: solid black with micro grey halo to soften contrast
  • Design elements: small crescent/eclipse, dot halo, thin connector line to other micro tattoos
  • Longevity note: finger tattoos fade faster due to hand washing and skin turnover; expect touch-ups
  • Who it suits: bold minimalists, people okay with periodic refreshes

Finding the Right Artist
Only artists who show healed finger work should be booked. Ask about their touch-up policies and how they space black to prevent blowouts. Smaller shops sometimes decline fingers; that's okay.

Aftercare & Healing Tips
Avoid excessive hand washing with harsh soaps; use gentle Dr. Bronner's unscented soap and pat dry. Keep moisturized and expect to revisit for touch-ups after 6–12 months.

  1. Saturn Ring Shoulder Cap

Saturn’s rings look incredible on the shoulder cap — the circular motion wraps with the natural rounded silhouette and reads like a symbolic armor piece.

Style & Design Details

  • Tattoo style: illustrative blackwork with stippling
  • Recommended size: 3–5 inches to show ring detail
  • Best placement(s): shoulder cap, upper deltoid, or as a shoulder-to-chest connector
  • Color vs. blackwork: deep black for shadow, layered grey for ring texture
  • Design elements: planetary body, concentric rings with stipple gradation, micro stars, negative space for highlights
  • Longevity note: shoulder tattoos age well if kept out of prolonged sun without SPF
  • Who it suits: people wanting a bold yet portable symbol, fans of celestial iconography

Finding the Right Artist
Find artists who show crisp circular forms and even stippling. Ask them how they’ll map rings to your shoulder curvature.

Aftercare & Healing Tips
Keep the shoulder loosely dressed for a week. Wash gently and use Hustle Butter for moisturizing during peeling. Apply SPF when wearing tank tops.

  1. Astrology Constellation Spine Line

A vertical constellation down the spine reads as both elegant and slightly moody. The linear composition emphasizes the back’s verticality and can be scaled to be long and discreet or bold and central.

Style & Design Details

  • Tattoo style: fine line with micro-dot accents
  • Recommended size: length varies 4–12 inches along spine
  • Best placement(s): along the spinal line, following vertebrae, or slightly offset to the left/right for less sensitivity
  • Color vs. blackwork: black linework with light grey dot gradients
  • Design elements: connected constellation line, tiny star clusters, micro moons or glyph anchors, negative space breaks
  • Longevity note: vertical lines hold well; try to avoid super-fine single lines if you want long-term crispness
  • Who it suits: people who like dramatic vertical pieces and visible but elegant backwork

Finding the Right Artist
Ask for healed spine pieces. Spine tattoos can be more painful depending on proximity to bone. A mid-career artist with long-line experience is ideal.

Aftercare & Healing Tips
Spine placements may feel sore for a couple of days. Sleep positions matter — avoid laying directly on the spine while it scabs. Use Saniderm for the first day if recommended, then keep moisturized with After Inked.

  1. Crescent Moon Behind the Knee

A crescent tucked behind the knee is playful and secretive. It’s an unexpected spot that peeks out during movement and pairs well with small constellation companions.

Style & Design Details

  • Tattoo style: illustrative black and grey
  • Recommended size: 1–3 inches depending on curvature
  • Best placement(s): popliteal area (behind knee), just above or below for less bending irritation
  • Color vs. blackwork: black outline with greyfill for depth
  • Design elements: crescent shape, small dot halo, simple shading to follow knee curve
  • Longevity note: behind-knee tattoos can be affected by constant bending; choose slightly larger, bolder lines for longevity
  • Who it suits: people comfortable with a quirky, somewhat hidden placement

Finding the Right Artist
Find someone who’s worked behind-knee pieces — they’ll account for skin folding and will scale line weight appropriately.

Aftercare & Healing Tips
Avoid deep knee bending sessions right after inking. Keep it clean, and use an unscented lotion like Lubriderm during peeling. Be patient; full settling can take a bit longer in flex areas.

  1. Solar System Rib-to-Hip Line

A linear planetary alignment flowing from ribs to hip makes a dramatic contouring piece. You can size each planet differently for visual rhythm and anchor the line with constellations or small script.

Style & Design Details

  • Tattoo style: illustrative/linear black and grey
  • Recommended size: long vertical flow 6–12 inches following body curve
  • Best placement(s): side rib line to hip, hip curve wrap, or along the flank
  • Color vs. blackwork: black and layered greywash for each planetary body
  • Design elements: planet silhouettes with varied sizes, thin connecting line, tiny orbit rings, optional micro-constellation accents
  • Longevity note: long stretches with consistent washes heal well but need sun protection if exposed
  • Who it suits: people who want a sculptural, elongated piece that follows the body

Finding the Right Artist
Artists comfortable with long, continuous panels and consistent shading are best. Ask to see healed flank pieces and how they handle body curvature.

Aftercare & Healing Tips
Flank pieces can be tender when sleeping or wearing tight clothing. Consider using a numbing cream like Zensa for multi-hour sessions if your artist agrees. Keep moisturized and protect from sun after healing with tattoo SPF 50 stick.

  1. Minimalist Planet Ring on Thumb Knuckle

A tiny ringed planet on a knuckle is a charming micro statement. It’s playful, visible, and easy to pair with other micro tattoos on the hand for a curated look.

Style & Design Details

  • Tattoo style: micro minimal blackwork
  • Recommended size: 0.3–0.6 inches
  • Best placement(s): thumb knuckle, index knuckle, side of finger near base
  • Color vs. blackwork: solid black outlines with micro grey dot shading if desired
  • Design elements: ringed planet silhouette, tiny star accents, thin motion lines
  • Longevity note: knuckle tattoos fade faster and require occasional touch-ups due to hand use
  • Who it suits: those who want highly visible, tiny celestial accents and accept maintenance

Finding the Right Artist
Select artists with healed hand tattoo portfolios. Discuss expected touch-up timeline and how to minimize early fading.

Aftercare & Healing Tips
Hands require careful washing and moisturizing. Use fragrance-free soap and keep a thin layer of After Inked to protect while working. Expect to book a touch-up after the initial healing period.

  1. Ornate Astrology Finger Band (black and grey astrology tattoo)

An ornate finger band that encircles one or more fingers with zodiac imagery reads like heirloom jewelry. Intricate micro-linework and dot halos keep the look moody while still delicate.

Style & Design Details

  • Tattoo style: ornamental micro-line + dotwork
  • Recommended size: band-width 4–8 mm, can span two fingers for more impact
  • Best placement(s): around ring finger, index finger, or bridging two fingers for a finger-cuff effect
  • Color vs. blackwork: black lines with fine grey dot shading for dimension
  • Design elements: tiny zodiac glyphs, repeating dot chains, filigree swirls, microstars, thin connector lines
  • Longevity note: finger bands fade with wear; thicker lines and periodic touch-ups help longevity
  • Who it suits: tactile jewelry-lovers, collectors who like visible micro-work

Finding the Right Artist
Choose an artist with detailed finger band examples. Ask how they’ll handle spacing for readability without making lines too tiny. A practiced hand is recommended.

Aftercare & Healing Tips
Finger cuffs are high-maintenance. Clean with a gentle soap and reapply Hustle Butter lightly during peeling. Avoid soaking your hands for long periods until healed.
