Aftercare for your tattoos:
Please keep your bandage on until you are in a clean safe environment to remove and clean your tattoo!
​
You will need:
-
Fragrance free liquid hand soap (Dial Gold, Softsoap, Dr Bronners Unscented)
-
Ointment (Aquaphore, Hustle Butter, Vitalitree)
-
Fragrance Free Lotion (Curel, Aveeno, Lubriderm)
​
#1. Remove all bandaging and throw directly into the garbage.
#2. Wash hands thoroughly.
#3. Wash tattoo- lather tattoo with your fingertips and liquid fragrance free hand soap, repeat if the tattoo feels slimy.
#4. Dry area with a paper towel or let air dry (no bath or hand towels)
#5. Apply a very thin layer of Aquaphor or artist recommend ointment to the tattoo.
​
Repeat 2-3 times a day for the first 3 days.
Upon day 4, discontinue ointment, and switch to applying fragrance free lotion to the tattoo. Use as needed until the skin returns completely to normal.
Healing takes 2-4 weeks depending on the tattoo and your body.
​
During the healing process:
NO sun or tanning of any kind.
NO soaking in ANY kind of water.
NO picking at the pealies!
Do NOT re-bandage the tattoo for any reason.
