Tattoo Aftercare
Remove the bandage after one to two hours. All wounds need to breathe if they are to heal properly. UNLESS the use of a Derm Shield ‘second skin’ is applied. Please remove the coverages in 3-5 days.
You must keep your tattoo clean! Wash the tattoo using a mild antibacterial soap (such as Dial or Provon) and warm water. Take care to remove all traces of blood and plasma as this will cause scabbing. Do not scrub the tattoo with a washcloth during the two week healing period.
Once dry, apply a very thin coat of ointment to the tattoo. We recommend using Vitamin A&D or Aquaphor as ointment, or other such tattoo aftercare products. Only use enough to make it shine, a little goes a long way.
Repeat the cycle of washing, drying, and applying ointment to the tattoo about 2-3 times per day for the first 3 days (while the tattoo feels tender).
Prolonged soaking can and will loosen scabs if any have formed, or will soak through the soft tissue turning it into a soggy mess and cause your ink to flow down the drain. This includes swimming in the Ocean or a Pool, water parks, springs, Hot Tubs, and Saunas.
Please refrain from scratching or picking at the tattoo.
Remember, the sun is BAD for your tattoo! Wait until it is fully healed to go back in the sun or a tanning bed and make sure you put on a high quality sunblock. Never put sunblock on a tattoo that is still healing.
