Aftercare
Instructions
These instructions are meant as general aftercare
instructions and what to expect in caring for a new tattoo. There
are several ways to take care of a tattoo that work. Listen to what
your artist tells you unless he is doing it out of his kitchen, in
which case you’re screwed anyway.
- Leave the bandage on for 4 to 6 hours.
If it sticks when your removing it, run it under water and take
it off.
- Wash the tattoo immediately with antibacterial soap using your
hands.
- Apply a thin layer of antibiotic ointment 3 or 4 times daily for
the fist couple of days, after 2 or 3 days start using fragrance
free hand lotion. Apply the hand lotion several times a day as
the tattoo starts feeling dry.
The tattoo will get dry and flaky. As it does do not pick at it.
- No soaking in water until completely healed. Take showers only,
no Baths, swimming pools, hot tubs, lakes, rivers, oceans etc.
- No direct sunlight or tanning until healed. After 2 weeks use
a high spf sun block to protect the color.
- Do not use alcohol, peroxide, or Vaseline on the tattoo during
healing process.
- Contact your artist with any questions or concerns.
