AFTER CARE INSTRUCTIONS

1. Leave bandage on as instructed by your artist. No need to rebandage.

2. Wash tattoo gently with clean hands and warm soapy water. We suggest plain, unscented, liquid soap. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry with a clean towel.

3. Let tattoo air dry.

4. Apply a small amount of fragrance free lotion, two-three times daily, for two weeks or until healed. Less is more.

5. Use common sense. Do not pick or scratch at your new tattoo. Avoid soaking in water (showering is fine) - avoid chlorine, lake water, direct sun, tanning beds and heavily fragrant soaps, lotions, or perfumes until healed.

6. Be sure to rehydrate, as you lost fluids during the tattoo process. Replenishing these fluids will help with your healing process.
