AFTERCARE

We have done our part | Now you do yours

  • Leave your tattoo wrapped for the remainder of the first day after your appointment.

  • The next day, remove wrapping and gently clean your tattoo with fragrance-free antibacterial soap. Gently pat dry with a clean paper towel, and apply a thin layer of Aquaphor on your tattoo with clean hands. Do this everyday for 2-3 weeks.

  • You may continue to shower as normal, but refrain from scrubbing or using wash cloths or loofa’s on your new tattoo.

  • NO bath’s, hot tubs, sauna’s, or swimming or soaking the tattoo of any kind for 2-3 weeks.

  • DO NOT scratch or pick at your tattoo when it starts to itch. Itching is normal.

  • DO NOT expose your healing tattoo to tanning beds or prolonged sun exposure.

  • NEVER touch your fresh tattoo with dirty hands, or allow others to touch your new tattoo while it’s healing.

  • Protect your new tattoo from rubbing against rough clothing while healing.

  • Your tattoo will be fully healed after 2-3 weeks. For best long-term results, continue to moisturize regularly and apply an SPF before going out in the sun.
