After Care

Caring for your Tattoo:

Leave the bandage on for at least one or two hour. If the bandage sticks to the tattoo, soak with water and remove gently. After removing bandage, wash the area gently using antibacterial soap and water. Do not rebandage your tattoo; allowing the tattoo to get plenty of air will help to healing process.

Pat dry with soft towel, paper towel or let air dry for about 1/2 hour (DO NOT rub tattoo). Wash your tattoo 2-3 times a day with
antibacterial soap and water, pat dry and apply a VERY SMALL AMOUNT of A&D ointment. Do not over apply your tattoo with ointment. After 4 or 5 days, switch to a NON FRAGRANCE lotion instead of A&D ointment to Keep tattoo from drying out, until ALL signs of scabbing disappear Usually 7-10 days.

DO NOT submerge the tattoo in any type of water (Including the bath, ocean, saunas, pools, hot tubs etc.)

DO NOT use Vaseline on tattoo.

DO NOT expose tattoo to direct sunlight during healing time.

DO NOT put suntan lotion on your tattoo during healing time.

Most important SUN DESTROYS TATTOOS by fading them, so please use a high numbered sunscreen on your tattoo any time you are in the sun to keep it looking its best.

 DO NOT LISTEN TO YOUR FRIENDS OR THE SPECIALISTS IN BARS... In the event you have an adverse reaction, you should contact the tattoo studio where you got the tattoo from for further advice or care.
