AFTER CARE

In order to preserve your tattoo's beauty and colour, please follow these steps carefully:

• Leave bandage on for 4 days, after the 4 days you may remove bandage in the shower

• Wash your hands thoroughly before removing bandage, washing your tattoo OR touching your tattoo to prevent contamination or infection

• Gently and carefully wash your tattoo using unscented and dye free soap. Always wash tattoo upon removal of bandage and continue  2-4 times afterwards

• When washing your tattoo it is key to gently wash off any clear, sticky fluid build up on the tattoo's surface

• Proper tattoo cleaning and aftercare is important to ensure the tattoo does not scab too thick, this is a critical step to proper healing

• Upon washing your tattoo, gently pat dry with a clean towel

• When drying your tattoo, gently pat dry with a CLEAN towel. Once you have pat dried your tattoo, allow it to air dry for 5 to 10 minutes.

• After you have allowed your tattoo to dry, gently apply a small amount of unscented and dye free lotion (DO NOT OVER APPLY LOTION, EXCESS MAY CAUSE IRRITATION) we recommend Baby Aveeno, Lubriderm, or Glaxal base.

• Over the next few days a thin scab-like layer will appear over your tattoo, this is normal and will come off on its own when it dries which can take up to 7 days.

• Gently apply lotion 5-7 times a day until your tattoo is fully healed for the best results

These are important steps to help your tattoo heal and look it's best!

PLEASE AVOID THE FOLLOWING DURING TATTOO HEALING PHASE:

• Soaking your tattoo is not recommended. Pools, hot tubs, or mineral springs are not good for your tattoo! (Quickly showering is okay)

• Sun exposure is not good for your tattoo! Please refrain from tanning or sun bathing

• Scratching, picking, or slapping your tattoo is not recommended, if your tattoo itches, GENTLY pat it with CLEAN HANDS
