AFTERCARE

AFTERCARE FOR YOUR TATTOO

  • NEVER TOUCH YOUR HEALING TATTOO UNLESS YOU HAVE THOROUGHLY WASHED YOUR HANDS AND THEY ARE CLEAN!!!

  • After 2-3 DAYS, remove the bandage gently and wash with warm water and mild anti-bacterial soap, like Dial, while in the shower. If the bandage is peeling off or leaking prior to the 2-3 day mark, it may come off then. Keeping the bandage on will help accelerate the healing process but it is not detrimental to take it off earlier.

  • Always wash your hands with anti-bacterial soap before touching your new tattoo.

  • Continue to wash you new tattoo with anti-bacterial soap for the duration of the healing process.

  • DO NOT REBANDAGE!!!

AFTERCARE INSTRUCTIONS

1. You are going to wash your tattoo with Dial liquid anti-bacterial soap 3-4 times a day. Then you will start using Curel, Aveeno, Jergens, After Inked, or Keri unscented (Enhanced with vitamin E, if available) lotions 4-5 times a day minimum after washing. Apply lotion as frequently as necessary to prevent it from drying out. Continue doing this until your skin returns to normal. DO NO PUT OINTMENT ON THIS TATTOO!!!

2. Stay out of sunlight and tanning booths until the tattoo is completely healed.

3. Do not soak your new tattoo. Which means NO bath, NO swimming, NO sauna and NO jacuzzi. Showering is fine.

4. Do not rub or pick the treated area while it is healing. Loss of pigment and/or infection could occur.

5. Extreme or prolonged sun exposure over the years can and will fade your tattoo.  This can be minimized by using a strong sunscreen, at least SPF 50.
