Tattoo Aftercare
If you are bandaged with an adhesive wrap, remove it
after 24-48 hours or whenever it becomes
compromised/leaks. Fluid will build up under the
wrap, this is normal. You can use warm water and
pull the wrap from the bottom. Make sure your hands
are clean whenever interacting with a new tattoo.
After removing your bandage, wash the tattoo with
warm water and UNSCENTED antibacterial soap.
We recommend dial gold or H2ocean foam soap.
Initially rub off ink/plasma, after that you should not
rub the tattoo till it is healed. Wash 2-3 times a day for
2 weeks. Use a fresh paper towel to pat dry.
Apply a thin layer of unscented lotion (aveno
unscented recommended) after each wash. Your tattoo
will peel and itch, don't scratch and make sure
nothing is rubbing on the tattoo until fully healed. No
standing water (includes pools) 3 weeks,
no direct sun 6 weeks (preferably ever).
If you have any questions contact your artist directly
or call the shop.
