Aftercare

Aftercare instructions:

Leave the bandage that I applied to you on overnight. Do not shower while the bandage is on, do not attempt to reapply the bandage if it comes off.

*Remove immediately if fluid leaks out from the bandage and proceed to wash according to the steps below*

Wash tattoo immediately after the bandage has been removed with warm water and liquid soap. Do not use bar soap. Wash your tattoo using only your clean hand, do not use a loofah or washcloth. After lathering your tattoo using only your clean hand and liquid soap, rinse clean with warm to hot water. Pat your tattoo dry with a clean paper towel after washing. Do not use a bath towel on your fresh tattoo.

Clean your tattoo at least once daily according to the directions above. Additionally wash your tattoo any time after you sweat.

On the third day after your tattoo has been applied begin using a small amount of lotion after your tattoo has been washed and dried. I recommend Cetaphil or Lubriderm. Do not use Aquaphor, Vaseline, sunblock or any other ointments or petroleum products while your tattoo is healing.

Keep your tattoo out of the ocean, lakes, rivers, pools, jacuzzis or any other body of water while your tattoo is healing (for at least two weeks after your tattoo has been applied). Avoid direct sunlight on your tattoo until your tattoo is fully healed. After your tattoo is fully healed apply sunscreen any time you are in the sun.

If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Thank you!
