Tattoo After Care

I Tattoo in a clean, professional tattoo studio that always uses sterilized

instruments. By following these simple instructions, your healing
process should be quick and easy.

* Leave the bandage on for at least three but up to twelve hours. If the bandage sticks
to tattoo upon removal, wet the area with lukewarm water and gently slide the bandage off.
do not reaapply the bandage.

* Wash the area gently with mild, fragrance-free soap and water.. Do this using clean
hands and making sure to remove all excess ointment, blood and ink. Pat dry with a
clean towel. DO NOT SCRUB.

* Wash your tattoo two or three times a day only. After washing, allow the skin to
dry and apply a VERY THin layer of aquaphor for three day. If it’s shiney
it’s too much.

* On the fourth day, apply a mild, fragrance-free moisturizing lotion until the tattoo
settles into the skin. This typically takes three weeks to a month. We find Aveeno
works best during this process.

* Expect to see your tattoo peel and flake. This is a normal part of the healing
process.

* NO SUN for two weeks. NO SWIMMING or SOAKING for two weeks.

* It is completely normal for your healing tattoo to itch but it is imperative NOT TO
SCRATCH OR PICK YOUR TATTOO.
