Care for Your Tattoo

Leave the bandage on 4 to 6 hours. If it comes off before the time move to the next step.

Wash tattoo with warm soapy water (if bar soap lather first) to remove all the ointment. Once clean, pat it dry or let it air dry.

Once Dry use an unscented unmedicated hand lotion. (lubriderm, Curel, Eucerin) 2 or 3 times a day.

While your tattoo is healing do not soak in water (pools, rivers, lakes, hot tubs, baths) Showers are fine, just don't let the water pound on your tattoo.

Do not pick or scratch at your tattoo.

If you use a tanning booth or get a lot of direct, keep your tattoo covered until it's healed. Once its healed using sunblock will keep your tattoo detailed and the colors bright.

While healing tight clothes should be avoided over the tattoo if possible. Direct air will help your tattoo heal faster.
