TATTOO AFTERCARE

•  LEAVE ORIGINAL WRAP ON 1-3 HRS. DO NOT RE-WRAP YOUR TATTOO ONCE YOU TAKE IT OFF UNLESS I GIVE YOU SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

•  REMOVE WRAP & WASH WITH AN ANTIBACTERIAL SOAP (DIAL, SOFTSOAP, ETC) AND WARM WATER, LET TATTOO AIR DRY

•  AFTER WASHING, APPLY A THIN LAYER OF UNSCENTED UNMEDICATED WHITE LOTION (LUBRIDERM, CUREL, AVEENO, ETC) AND GENTLY RUB INTO THE TATTOO AND SURROUNDING SKIN. IT SHOULD NOT BE GREASY OR GLOSSY AFTERWARDS, DON’T DROWN YOUR TATTOO IN LOTION. I DONT LIKE AQUAPHOR OR A&d

•  DO NOT PICK OR SCRATCH AT YOUR TATTOO! SCABBING AND PEELING IS NATURAL AND EXPECTED. LET THE SCABS AND DEAD SKIN FALL OFF ON ITS OWN, IT IS OKAY IF THEY RUB OFF ON YOUR CLOTHES OR WHILE WASHING THE AREA – DO NOT PICK AT IT!

 

While Healing

•  DO NOT OVER-EXPOSE YOUR TATTOO TO DIRECT SUNLIGHT, NO TANNING BEDS

•  DO NOT SOAK YOUR TATTOO IN A BATH, HOT TUB, OR A BODY OF WATER FOR A WEEK OR SO AFTER YOU GET TATTOOED. SHOWERING IS THE ONLY WATER THAT SHOULD TOUCH YOUR NEW TATTOO.

•  DO NOT USE PETROLEUM BASED PRODUCTS  (AQUAPHOR, VASELINE)
