Aftercare

✿ please ask your tattoo artist if they have specific instructions ✿

Please keep your tattoo clean and dry for two weeks (you can shower, but no submerging - no baths or swimming).

Wear breathable clothing and shield your tattoo from direct sunlight until fully healed. After fully healed (approximately 2-4 weeks), always wear sunscreen after its healed (do not use sunscreen during the healing process).

Remove the bandage after 2-3 hours (if using second skin, remove after 3-5 days) and clean with warm water and fragrance free, antibacterial soap. Dab dry with a clean paper towel. Do not re-bandage.

Avoid heavy exercise with excessive sweating for two weeks (shower immediately and remove second skin immediately after if you do exercise or sweat).

Make sure to keep your tattoo lightly moisturized. Any fragrance-free, gentle moisturizer is good to use. I recommend Lubriderm. Do not use Vaseline. Patch test any new moisturizer for allergies prior to tattoo.

Do not pick, scratch, or let others touch your tattoo during the healing process.

Ensure you have a clean environment while your tattoo is healing (bed sheets, clothes).
