Tattoo Aftercare Instructions

•Always wash your hands before touching your tattoo!

Remove wrap within 4 hours after getting your tattoo. Do not re-bandage. Your tattoo needs to breathe, just like any open wound.

• Wash the new tattoo with cool or lukewarm water, with a mild antibacterial soap. Be gentle, do not use a washcloth or anything that will exfoliate your tattoo. Only use your hands.

• Gently pat your tattoo dry with a paper towel. Do not rub, or use a fabric with a rough surface.

• Rub a small amount of healing ointment on your tattoo. Always use clean hands.Make sure to rub the ointment in so that it is not shiny, or greasy – you want the thinnest amount  possible.

• Wash, dry and apply ointment every night daily for the first week.

• On the first days your tattoo will begin to peel. This is normal! Do not pick at the skin.

• Use healing ointment  for minimum 2 weeks, 3-4 times daily.

• Do not pick, scratch, peel, slap, rub or irritate your tattoo.

• You can shower, but you may not soak your tattoo for 2 weeks. No swimming, soaking or   hot tub.

• Do not expose your tattoo to the sun for at least 3 weeks, after that you must use sun block.

• Do not wear abrasive materials,wool,jewelry, or shoes that rub against your tattoo.

· Once bandage is completely removed DO NOT re-bandage the tattoo.

· NO working out for at least 48 hours! It’s better if you wait until your tattoo is completely healed.

· DO NOT pick or scratch tattoo while it is peeling.

· DO NOT soak the tattoo for 3 weeks. No swimming, baths, hot tubs or saunas for 3 weeks.

· NO shaving or waxing the area until tattoo is completely healed.

· DO NOT apply alcohol, vaseline, petroleum jelly or sun block to the fresh tattoo.

· NO direct sunlight on tattoo for the first 3 weeks. Once it is healed, if you go out in the sun, use a high SPF sun block.

· DO NOT listen to your friends or so-called tattoo experts. If you have questions, call/text/email or visit the artist that did your tattoo!!

· First 3 days, some ink can come out with plasma. It’s nothing to worry about but always wear clean shirts and sleep on clean sheets.
