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.
