Aftercare

​

To prevent infection and to encourage healing please do the following:

​

⦁    Leave the bandage on for 2 to 3 hours, then wash your tattoo                        thoroughly with a mild antibacterial soap and warm water.

      Do not re-bandage your tattoo, you want your the skin to                              breath. 

​

 ⦁   Clean your tattoo with antibacterial soap 2 to 3 times a day.

      Apply a small amount of lotion/ointment on your tattoo.

 

  ⦁  You may use an unscented lotion (with no alcohol in the                                  lotion) like Aquaphor or a tattoo ointment – whatever you know that            you’re not allergic to.

      Always use clean hands and do not place your fingers back into the              ointment after touching your tattoo. 

​

⦁    Your tattoo will take about 2 to 3 weeks to heal. During that time                  frame, your new tattoo will scab. Do not pick, pull or scratch on the              scabs, let them fall off on their own. ​

 

⦁    Avoid swimming pools, hot tubs, rivers, lakes and other                                 bodies of water while your new tattoo is healing.

 

⦁    Avoid direct sunlight or tanning, during the healing time.

 

 

​The healing process usually takes 2 weeks, however this may vary per person. Remember that you have an open wound on your body, so treat your body well.
