Aftercare Instructions
The next step to a new tattoo is proper aftercare! Happy Healing!
Second skin removal:
Keep on for 1-3 days
- 24 hrs. minimum
- Easiest removal is under water/ during a shower.
- If you have any reactions, contact me immediately!
-If there is any sticky residue it’ll come off, do not worry,
-If there is anything on the sticker itself, it’s just residue!
Plastic wrap removal:
-Keep on for 3-4 hours min/max
-Never rewrap
Cleansing Tattoo:
Rinse tattoo gently with antibacterial & unscented soap
(ex. Dial, DR. Bronners unscented)
Once Cleaned:
- Apply a THIN layer of tattoo ointment for 2-3 days
(A&D, Aquaphor, I really recommend Hustle Butter)
Don't over apply, it can clog your pores ultimately disrupting the healing.
After 2-3 days use unscented lotion as you would any part of your body.
Enough to moisturize- not a layer. Your tattoo needs to ventilate to dry and peel.
(ex. Lubriderm, Eucerin, unscented is a must)
DO NOT RE-WRAP, SOAK, SCRUB, SCRATCH, PICK
No soaking means-
NO BATHS
NO POOLS
NO BEACH
NO SUN
NO SWEAT (until closed up and peeling)
-Until completely healed-this can be a few weeks even over a
month.
Treat your tattoos like a wound. keep them clean.
