AFTERCARE

  • Leave protective wrapping on 5 days. Don’t play with the ink sack! Blood and ink will collect in the wrap, let it be! If it leaks, breaks, bursts, or has any kind of other contaminations, please remove the wrap early. If you get an irritation from the adhesive, remove the wrap early.
  • After removing wrap, immediately wash tattoo 2-3 times in warm water with liquid antibacterial soap. (i.e. Liquid Dial Gold, no scents!) Turn water to cold and let it run on the tattoo for a minute to close your pores. Let skin air dry or with fresh paper towel.
  • Wait one day before applying any lotion, if any! Use only a white, non-scented lotion. A little goes a long way, you dont want a wet or greasy tattoo. Only use lotion after the tattoo has dried.
  • wash tattoo 2-3 times a day. Don’t over wash, don’t over moisturize. Avoid swimming or soaking in any kind of water for at least 2 weeks, keep it covered in the sun for at least 2 weeks then use sunscreen whenever you are exposed to the sun to prevent fading.
