Aftercare

Tattoos

All the products we recommend may be purchased at our shop.


1. Keep the tattoo bandaged for approximately 2 hours.


2. Wash hands prior to removing bandage.


3. Carefully remove bandage and wash the entire area with a mild soap and water. Dry the area and apply a very thin layer of the ointment we supply. Apply 2-4 times per day for at least 3 days.


4. Do NOT re-bandage the tattoo, as it could stick to the bandage and damage could occur.


5. Avoid sunburn, salt or chlorine water, or hot tubs until the tattoo is completely healed. 


6. In the event mild scabbing occurs, DO NOT pick at or attempt to wash off the scab. Allow scabs to fall off naturally. You may use a mild skin lotion to keep flaking to a minimum. 


7. NOTE: In the first few weeks, the colors of your tattoo may look "hazy" or not as bright as when it was first done. Do not be alarmed as it is a normal course of healing and will clear up in a few short weeks.
