Aftercare
Leave bandage on for at least three hours after procedure. If you can leave it on overnight, that is the best option.
Remove the bandage and wash with warm water and unscented soap. Only use your clean hand when washing. Do not use a washcloth or abrasive material.
Allow to air dry, or gently pat it with a clean paper towel.
I do NOT suggest using Aquaphor, unless you have had success with it in the past. LESS IS MORE!
Repeat this process 2-3 times for the next 3 days. After the 3 days, reduce washing to once a day.
After 3 days, you can start applying a fragrance-free lotion. At this point it will start to dry out and become itchy. Use a small amount of lotion as needed to relieve any discomfort.
DO NOT scratch your tattoo, not matter how itchy it may become.
NO ointments. NO baths or swimming (showers are good!). NO sun. NO working out/sweating for a couple of days if you can avoid it.
Most tattoos take about 1-2 weeks to heal. After its fully healed use sunscreen to prevent your tattoo from fading.
