Aftercare Instructions

● If you have a second skin, please leave it on for 2-3 days. It is common to see blood plasma forming under the bandage. If the bandage falls off naturally, just keep the tattoo clean and moisturized.* If your skin is irritated along the edge of the bandage, you can take it off.
● Gently remove bandage(s) under luke running water.
● DO NOT re-bandage the tattoo.
● Once the bandage is removed, using an unscented soap, wash off the tattoo well with your hand.
● When done cleaning the tattoo, gently pat dry with a clean towel or paper towel and allow the tattoo to air dry for about 5-10 minutes. Do not rub the towel on it.
● Applying lotion: Apply lotion 2-3 times a day during 2 weeks after cleaning the tattoo, avoid lotions that contain petroleum. Apply a thin layer to cover the tattoo area, do not over-apply lotion.
● DO NOT pick or scratch the tattoo while healing.
● DO NOT soak the tattoo for 3 weeks. No swimming, baths, hot tubs or saunas for 3 weeks.
● DO NOT shave or wax the area until the tattoo is completely healed.
● DO NOT apply alcohol, Vaseline, petroleum jelly to a fresh tattoo.
● DO NOT have direct sunlight on your tattoo for the first 3 weeks. Once it is healed, use a high factor sunblock.
● First 3 days, some ink can come out with plasma. Nothing to worry about but always use clean shirts and sheets.
● Once you leave the tattoo studio, proper care of your tattoo is your responsibility.
