Aftercare

1. Leave the bandage on for at least an hour and no more than three.
2. Gently Clean the area with a mild antibacterial soap then gently blot, don’t rub, the area dry. (repeat 2-3 times daily)
3. Apply Aquaphor in a very thin layer. If the tattoo becomes sticky blot off excess ointment with a clean paper towel until only a thin layer is left.
4. Continue to wash and clean tattoo 2-3 times a day as mentioned earlier.
5. Wear Sunscreen (Great idea anyway. Oh and at least SPF 45 and/or keep tattoo out of the sun.)
6. Keep tattoo moisturized with Aquaphor.
7. Dead skin will appear as the tattoo heals. Keep it clean and moisturized. Do not scrub while bathing just clean normal.
8. If scabbing forms DO NOT PEEL THEM OFF! Instead keep them moist until they heal.

• Avoid scented body washes, lotions, and shampoos on your tattoo.
• Don’t swim or get in a hot tub for at least 2 weeks.
• Avoid direct exposure to the sun and after the tattoo has fully healed wear Sunscreen (Great idea anyway. At least SPF 45 and/or keep tattoo out of the sun.)
• Wear loose clothing over tattoo while it heals to avoid clothing pulling off the scabs and irritating the tattoo.
