Tattoo Aftercare:

Important:

• Do not pick or scratch your tattoo, no matter how tempting! (Gently pat or rub it)

• Do not wear tight clothing over the tattoo 

• Do not go swimming or enter any body of water for a minimum of one month (taking a shower is ok)

• Do not expose your fresh tattoo to direct sunlight for any amount of time

• Do not put sunscreen on your tattoo until fully healed (2 weeks minimum)

• Do not sleep on your fresh tattoo

• Do not listen to any advice from someone who is not your tattoo artist

 

What You Need To Know:

When you first get your tattoo, your artist will put a covering on it. Leave the covering on for 2-3 hours after the tattoo is finished. When it's time, gently remove the covering and softly wash the tattoo with a clean cloth and anti-bacterial, unscented soap.

​

While cleaning you'll want to dab and pat with your clean cloth. Wiping can be harmful and irritating to your tattoo. Air dry or gently pat dry the tattoo with a clean soft cloth afterwards.

​

Wash your hands thoroughly then apply your artist recommended ointment (Aquaphor or Tattoo Goo are currently preferred). Do not put too much ointment on, you only need a thin layer, as if you were putting on lotion. Plan to apply ointment 3-4 times daily, continue this for up to 2 weeks or until the tattoo flakes off and heals.

 

Always wash your hands before applying ointment or touching the tattoo for any reason.

 

You may ice the tattoo over the wrapping if you wish. 

 

A good tattoo boils down to a few simple components:

CLEAN, MOISTURIZE & PROTECT!

​

Always use sunscreen on your HEALED tattoos when outdoors.

 

If you follow this advice, your tattoo should be as bright as the day you got it for many years to come! Please contact your artist if you have any concerns.
