Cleaning

Leave bandage on for a minimum of 2 hours. If you got tattooed in in the evening, leave your tattoo bandaged overnight. After removing the bandage, clean the tattoo gently by hand with unscented soap and warm-hot water. This may sting a bit, but is helpful in effectively cleaning your tattoo and reducing irritation. After rinsing, pat dry with a clean paper towel. Do not re-bandage.

Maintenance

Apply a VERY THIN layer of Aquaphor ointment 2-3 times per day for 3 days. On the 4th day, switch to a small amount of unscented hand lotion. Again, only apply a small amount and rub into the skin. There shouldn't be any excess lotion on your skin. Use daily until tattoo is healed. It will take 2-4 weeks to fully heal.

Healing

During the healing process, your tattoo will peel and flake. Please do not pick at your tattoo, as you will pick the ink right out of your tattoo. A healing tattoo can be quite itchy., but for the good of your tattoo do not scratch it.

Warning!

No sun, swimming, SCRATCHING or SOAKING for at least 2 weeks. Always use sunblock on healed tattoos! Any questions - please call us!
