TATTOO AFTERCARE.

LEAVE WRAPPING ON FOR THE AMOUNT OF TIME YOUR ARTIST TELLS YOU UNLESS YOU ARE HAVING AN ADVERSE REACTION (THEN TAKE IT OFF) GENERALLY 2 TO 24 HOURS FOR CLING FILM AND 24 HOURS TO 4 DAYS FOR SANIDERM/SECOND SKIN.

AFTER YOU REMOVE THE DRESSING, GENTLY WASH WITH UNSCENTED ANTIBACTERIAL SOAP AND WARM WATER. GENTLY WASH YOUR TATTOO TWICE OR THREE TIME A DAY. MAKE SURE YOU ARE PATTING IT (NOT WIPING IT) DRY WITH SOMETHING CLEAN. CLEAN IS KEY PEOPLE.

APPLY A THIN LAYER UNSCENTED LOTION AS NEEDED. FOLLOW THE RECOMMENDED BRAND OF YOUR ARTIST.

KEEP YOUR TATTOO CLEAN.

ALSO, KEEP YOUR TATTOO CLEAN.

WEAR LOOSE CLOTHING AROUND TATTOO

KEEP YOUR TATTOO OUT OF DIRECT SUNLIGHT. SUNBURN IS A HUGE BURDEN ON A HEALING TATTOO. IT SUCKS. DON’T DO IT. SUNSCREEN, LONG SLEEVES, AND COHESIVE WRAP ARE YOUR FRIEND.

DO NOT, EVER, SOAK YOUR FRESH TATTOO.

ESPECIALLY IN THE RIVER, OR THE HOT SPRINGS. YOU COULD GET BACTERIA IN THERE THAT LEADS TO INFECTION THAT LEADS TO SEPSIS. SOAKING A FRESH TATTOO ALSO PULLS OUT INK AND OR CAN MOVE THE ENTIRE SCAB OVER WHICH TURNS OUT PRETTY UGLY.

JUST DON’T SOAK IT OK!?!?!?!

ONLY TOUCH TATTOO WITH CLEAN HANDS!

SCABBING CAN HAPPEN, BUT IDEALLY THERE AS AN EVEN FLAKING. IF YOU DO DEVELOP ANY SCABS, DO NOT PICK AT THEM, DO NOT USE NEOSPORIN, JUST LET YOUR BODY TAKE CARE OF IT.

SLAP, DO NOT SCRATCH AN ITCHY FRESH TATTOO.

AFTER YOU ARE ALL HEALED VISIT US AGAIN SO WE CAN CHECK ON YOUR TATTOO!

IF YOU HAVE ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS FEEL FREE TO REACH OUT

KEEP IT CLEAN YALL!

THANKS.
