After Care
We recommend you wash your tattoo three times a day. Use dial antibacterial soap and warm water. Wash your hands, then the tattoo. DO NOT use a washcloth! Wash your tattoo until it is no longer slimy. The slime you feel is plasma, and if allowed to harden, will become a scab. Scabs are normal, but minimizing them by washing your tattoo will help keep as much pigment in the skin as possible. Washing also keeps your tattoo clean and lowers your chances for infection. With that said, do not over-wash your tattoo. Doing so will draw out the ink and slow the healing process. Allow your tattoo to air dry, or pat it dry with a disposable paper towel.
​
We suggest you use Aquaphor for the first four days after every time you wash it put a small amount of ointment on your tattoo, and rub it in until it is completely absorbed. Thinnest layer possible. Do not leave a thick film on your tattoo.
​
After the first three to five days, you can transition to unscented lotion.
​
Your tattoo will take approximately two weeks to heal fully if cared for properly. During this time, no swimming, baths, hot tubs, etc. Do not submerge the tattoo in water for long periods of time. Also keep it out of the sun as much as possible.
​
DO NOT PICK AT IT! Tattoos shed skin, this is a normal part of the healing process. Let it exfoliate naturally. Pulling the skin off damages your tattoo. If it gets itchy, that means it is probably dry. Putting lotion on usually relieves the itchiness.
