Please remove your bandage anywhere between 2-24 hours after the tattoo is applied.
Do not re-bandage whatsoever. Keep tight clothing off the area.
Wash your new tattoo 1-2 times per day with a liquid antibacterial soap. Always pat dry with a clean paper towel. Allow to air dry for a minimum of 30 minutes before applying any moisturizer.
Use an UNSCENTED LOTION 1-2 times per day, especially for the first 2 weeks during healing process. Lotion brands that we prefer are; Aveno, Cetephil, Hemps or Luberderm. Some clients prefer using an ointment and the only ointment we recommend is a thin layer of BACITRACIN for the first 2-3 days, then switch over to a recommended unscented lotion.
DO NOT take long hot showers, expose or submerge the tattoo in any type of water like a hot tub, lake, ocean or pool for an extended period of time, that will cause healing problems!
DO NOT go tanning or sunbathing for a minimum of 30 days. That will cause healing problems!
DO NOT PICK OR SCRATCH YOUR TATTOO! IT WILL GET ITCHY AND THIS IS NORMAL!!! Applying lotion should relieve the tightness that occurs during the healing process.
Tattoos take a full 30 days to be fully healed. So please drink extra water and follow this aftercare routine for a month to ensure the best healing scenario for your new body art.
