Tattoo AfterCare

Day 1

Wear your bandage for around 1 hour, then remove it and wash the tattoo gently with antibacterial, fragrance-free soap.

Gently pat dry with a paper towel. Do not rub back and forth.

It is recommended that the tattoo be left uncovered for it to get air and start the body's natural healing process.

While sleeping with your healing tattoo, please make sure you have fresh, clean bedding that is fur free.

Pets should be kept at a distance from your tattoo during the healing process to avoid possible infection.

Day 3

After 2 days of healing, your tattoo is ready for a light cream application.

Apply aftercare cream 1-2 times a day. Wash your hands prior to application.

Do not flood your tattoo. A small amount of cream is enough. Too much cream can suffocate the tattoo and disturb the healing process.

Important Aftercare Instructions

DO NOT:

• Submerge your new tattoo in water for 2 weeks. This includes baths, pools, spas, the ocean, etc. (showers are fine).
• Directly expose your new tattoo to the sun for 2 weeks. This can severely damage your tattoo.
• Use fragranced products directly on your new tattoo for 2 weeks, including body wash, perfume, etc.
• Pick or scratch your healing tattoo. It is normal for it to become flaky and itchy during the healing process. It is important not to disturb this process as it can cause damage to your tattoo.
• Wear tight clothing over your healing tattoo.
• Do heavy weightlifting or intense exercise for a few days.
• Go to the beach with your healing tattoo.
