AFTERCARE

 

Cleaning the Area

  1. Wash your hands with liquid antibacterial soap (unscented) before washing or touching your tattoo.

  2. Gently clean the area with warm water (ink and plasma oozing is normal).

  3. Pat the area dry with a disposable paper towel.

  4. Apply a very thin layer of ointment (Aquaphor or ointments made specifically for tattoos).

  5. Repeat this process once or twice a day for the first 2-3 days.

For best results:

  • Do not scratch the scabs

  • Avoid direct sun exposure (no sunscreen until the peeling is complete)

  • Absolutely no soaking - no baths, swimming, hot tubs, etc.

  • When working out: Avoid repeated stretching and compressing of the tattoo, which could cause scabs to crack.

  • Wash after sweating.

  • Apply sunscreen, and it will always be recommended any time you will be out in the sun.
