Aftercare for your
new tattoo
Remove bandage in 2-4 hours. (You will not need to re-bandage your
tattoo) Wash your tattoo with ice cold water and antibacterial soap
such as dial in a pump. Gently remove any blood and plasma with
clean hands and a paper towel don't use a wash cloth (as they
harbor bacteria).
2-3 times a day for 3-5 days apply a thin layer of tattoo goo or A&D
ointment. Alot is not necessary and will cause the tattoo not to heal
proper.
Any discharge after you apply the ointment wash your tattoo and let it
air dry for about 15 minutes then re-apply very little ointment. This will
prevent scabbing.
After about 5 days you can start using a non-fragrance hand lotion
such as Vaseline intensive care it will help with the dry skin you get
when healing your tattoo.
When healing your tattoo use common sense. If it is on your neck
limit your movement. On your hand no dishes. On your foot no shoes.
The more you baby your tattoo the better it will heal. When Your
tattoo starts to itch you can relieve this by lightly slapping your tattoo.
In about 2 weeks your tattoo will be healed if u need any touch ups
come back in within 60 days and I will touch up your tattoo for free.
(one time only)
If the touch up is a lack of proper aftercare then there will be a
charge and yes I can tell if you don't take care of your tattoo properly.
Some Dont's !!
Keep your tattoo out of the sun while its healing. When your tattoo is all
healed use a 30spf sun block to keep your tattoo nice and colorful.
No swimming-Risk of bad infection.
No picking scabs or dry skin that is on your new tattoo.
No peroxide, bag balm or neosporin.
