TATTOO AFTERCARE INSTRUCTIONS
AFTER 1 HR.
Remove plastic wrap and wash your tattoo with antibacterial soap.
(We like orange Dial soap!)
After Washing
Pat dry lightly, then apply unscented lotion. (We like Aveeno!)
3-4 Hours After
Repeat the process of washing and reapplying lotion.
Night time
For the first nights at bedtime, was the tattoo, pat dry, and then rewrap with plastic wrap (No lotion under the plastic wrap!!) You may remove the wrap in the morning and leave uncovered entirely after the second night.
Day 5 - 7
Continue to wash your tattoo, pat dry, and apply lotion 3 - 5 times a day.
Continue Care
As your tattoo begins toscab over apply lotion liberally whenever it looks like or feels dry, itchy, etc. It is normal that some colored ink may appear to flake off during this process as your skin sheds.
* Do not pick, or scratch, or scrub your tattoo! Only use clean finger to wash your tattoo. No swimming, baths where the tattoo is submerged, or hot tubs for two weeks.**
