Tattoo Aftercare Instructions
1) Remove bandage after 3-4 hours.
2) Wash tattoo with soap and water, anti-bacterial soap is preferred, no bar soap as there could be bacteria on the bar. Be sure to rinse tattoo well and pat dry with a clean paper towel.
3) Apply a very thin layer of Aquaphor to your tattoo. Keep this ointment very light, putting more on will not make your tattoo heal faster, it will just delay the healing process and cause a poor heal. Keep it nice and light. Don’t cake that stuff on there!!
4) Wash your tattoo 2-3 times a day and pat dry with a paper towel, apply the Aquaphor after you’ve washed the tattoo. So you should be applying a thin light coat 2-3 times a day on a freshly washed tattoo.
5) After the first two days switch to a light layer of non-scented lotion like Aveeno (green cap). Apply 2-3 times a day after washing your tattoo.
6) Follow step 5 for the next 2 weeks.
After a few days your tattoo will start to get hard crusty, and itchy, don’t scratch it as you may cause scaring. Let the tattoo flake on it’s own.
Keep it out of direct sunlight.
No swimming for 2 weeks.
