Tattoo Aftercare Instructions:

Always wash your hands before touching your tattoo!

When you get home:

• Remove bandage within 1 - 2 hours after getting your tattoo. Do not re-bandage. Your tattoo needs to breathe.

• Wash your tattoo with an anti-bacterial liquid 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 clean towel and let air dry for 30 minutes.

• Apply an unscented white lotion to your tattoo.

• Your tattoo will begin to peel. This is normal! Do not pick at the skin. Let the skin come off naturally. If a scab forms do not mess with it. Apply lotion as needed, several times a day.
  

Things to Avoid:

• 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, baths or hot tub.

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

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

• Do not let anyone touch your tattoo, unless they wash their hands.

• Beware of gym equipment; wash it well before using it.
