Aftercare for your Tattoos

Tattoo Aftercare
​
While tattoo is healing:
  • Keep wrapped for however long your artist recommends.
  • After unwrapping, wash your new tattoo every six hours with mild antibacterial soap (use only your hand, not a rag or anything abrasive). Gently pat dry. Apply a thin layer of Original Lubriderm or Original Aquafor lotion (unscented). 
  • Wash your tattoo after activities like working out, having contact with pets, or anything that gets the skin dirty.
  • Refrain from submerging in water.
  • Refrain from direct exposure to sunlight.
 
 After tattoo is healed:
  • Always wear sun protection on tattoos when exposed to the sun.

  • First touch ups within six months are free. By appointment only.

 
DON'Ts:
  • DON'T pick at it.

  • Don't use Neosporin or any other medicated ointment, Vaseline (or similar petroleum products), alcohol, or cream.

 

If you have questions, comments, or concerns during healing, contact your artist!
