Tattoo aftercare

Tattoo Care Instructions

1. Remove bandage.

2. Wash tattoo quickly with mild soap (I recommend Dial Gold antibacterial liquid soap) then pat dry with a clean paper towel. Do not scrub.

3. Apply a very small amount of A&D Ointment or Aquaphor to keep moist throughout the day for 1-2 days. Only use a very small amount. Tattoo should not appear greasy, too much ointment is not a good thing. Your new tattoo needs to breathe. Then switch to a fragrance free hypoallergenic lotion for 2 weeks.

4. Do not expose tattoo to direct sunlight, swimming pools, hot tubs, baths or steam while healing. Avoid sweating and letting water hit your new tattoo directly while showering.

5. The tattoo should not scab but will peel as if you have sunburn. Avoid picking at, scratching or peeling your tattoo it can remove color. 

6. For a long lasting tattoo with bright color always protect it from the sun.
