TATTOO AFTERCARE

first 2-3 houRS


  • Leave bandage on for 2-3 hours and until you are in a safe and clean environment to remove and clean the tattoos.
  • Before cleaning or touching the tattooed area, WASH HANDS thoroughly with soap and warm water.
  • Carefully remove the bandage without force. DO NOT pull bandage upwards. Sometimes excess color will come off on the bandage (this is normal).
  • If it sticks, wet the applied bandage and gently pull off so as not to damage any scabs or dry areas.
  • After removing the bandage, cleanse the area with mild soap and water. Gently rub with fingertips to remove plasma. Do not scrub the tattoo. Pat dry with a clean and dry paper towel.
  • Let the tattoo air dry completely for at least 10 minutes.
  • Apply a thin layer of ointment. We have aftercare available (Aquaphor is also acceptable). Pat any excess ointment with a dry paper towel. Applying too much ointment can cause breakouts.
  • Do not apply a new bandage to the tattoo after the first is removed.

3-5 DAYS


  • Continue to cleanse the tattoo for 3-5 days. Apply ointment 3-4x a day.
  • Do not allow tattoo to become dry. If a scab does form, DO NOT pick it, let it heal on its own.
  • Your tattoo will start to peel about 3-5 days later. At this point, switch to a fragrance free lotion or gentle moisturizer such as Lubriderm, as needed until completely healed.
  • Itching is expected. NEVER pick, scratch or peel it. This may result in loss of color.

GENERAL


  • Tattoos take 3-4 weeks to fully heal. 
  • Once healed, regularly moisturize to keep skin soft and color bright
  • Avoid swimming and sun exposure for at least 2 weeks.
  • Sun exposure can damage a tattoo, always use a sun block with strong SPF when outdoors.

Do not use

 

  • Vaseline or petroleum jellies
  • Soap with fragrance, moisture beads or scrubs
  • Medicated ointment such as Neosporin
  • Iodine, peroxide, or alchohol-based solutions
