Preparation
Please arrive clean and freshly washed. This is important for the health of your tattoo, and we want everyone to have a comfortable experience!
Aftercare
1. Wash your hands before touching your tattoo! Touching a freshly done tattoo with dirty hands is the easiest way to cause infection.
2. Gently remove any wrap/bandages after 2 hours. If it is stuck, DO NOT FORCE IT! Wet the wrap with water to help remove.
3. Cleanse the area with antibacterial soap to remove any blood.
4. Gently pat dry with a clean towel.
5. Apply a THIN layer of auqaphor for the first 2 days. Apply plain lotion for the next 10 days, as needed.
​
-
Avoid direct sunlight on your tattoo for at least 2 weeks.
-
Avoid baths, pools, hot tubs, saunas, and the ocean for at least 2 weeks. This will prevent infection/loss of pigment.
-
Avoid picking scabs that may form. Picking your tattoo can cause scarring and loss of pigment.
The total healing time is around 2 weeks. Please keep in mind this may vary as each person heals differently. After your tattoo is completely healed, consider using sunscreen while you are outdoors to prevent it from fading.
