TATTOO AFTERCARE

First I would like to note that you must be sure your water is  from a clean source. If your water source is from a well that is not tested quarterly just use distilled water.

1. Keep the bandage on overnight and please don't take peel it back so your friends can peek at it, this is a very critical stage in your healing.

2. Remove your bandage in the morning and toss it. DON'T RE-BANDAGE YOUR TATTOO.

3. Always wash your hands before cleaning your tattoo ALWAYS.

4. Lather your tattoo using a pure unscented soap BY HAND until the layer left by the bandage has been washed away. Rinse thoroughly with water and pat dry with a fresh paper towel DO NOT RUB DRY.

5. Now, for the next 4-5 days, VERY LIGHTLY wash your tattoo once daily. DO NOT SOAK or saturate your tattoo and KEEP IT DRY AT ALL OTHER TIMES.

                                           

Once your tattoo is healed  (no scab) apply moisturizer to remove any dry "milk skin"

Eat clean, dress clean, be clean, it's a must for your healing tattoo.

Vitamins E, C and zinc are great supplements to take during the healing stages.

DON'T expose your new tattoo to sunlight,  tanning beds, tanning oils or creams, Chlorine pools, hot tubs ect. for 4-6 weeks.

DO NOT PICK YOUR TATTOO. This causes major damage and you are responsible for any rework costs due to your own negligence and yes.....we can tell.

ENJOY
