AFTERCARE


DO NOT LISTEN TO ANYONE BUT YOUR TATTOO ARTIST ABOUT THE HEALING PROCESS OF YOUR NEW TATTOO!

  1. Remove bandage after two hours
  2. Hand wash your tattoo with antibacterial hand soap and water
  3. Gently pat the tattoo dry with a paper towel or let it air dry
  4. Apply a small amount of unscented lotion and rub it in completely
  5. Repeat these steps 1 - 2 times a day

DO NOT PICK OR SCRATCH YOUR TATTOO

( a gentle pat or mild slap will sometimes take the itch away, but don’t over do it )

Don’t let your tattoo dry, it should always be moisturized, but NEVER wet.

If your tattoo is wet you have put too much ointment on it.

DO NOT soak your tattoo in water.

Remember to use sunscreen when in the sun for prolonged amounts of time.

Showers are fine, but no swimming pools, baths, or hot tubs for at least three weeks.

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT YOUR NEW TATTOO’S HEALING PLEASE CALL OR STOP BY.
