Tattoo After Care
How To Care For Your New Tattoo
-
Leave your bandage on for 2-4 hours after your tattoo is completed.
-
Remove your bandage and gently wash your tattoo with a mild soap and warm
water using your fingertips only
-
Let your tattoo air dry for about 15 minutes
-
Put a very thin layer of tattoo goo or triple antibiotic ointment on your
tattoo.
-
Re-apply the ointment 3-5 times a day for 7 days.
-
After the 7 days start using Lubriderm hand cream Your tattoo will
seep and scab slightly. Don't panic, this is normal.
The outcome of your tattoo is a direct result of how well you take care of
it. Neglect and stupidity will ruin your investment.
What Not To Do To Your New Tattoo
-
Do not use any ointments not listed above on your tattoo.
-
Do not pick your tattoo. This will pull out the ink
-
Do not scratch your tattoo. When it itches, slap it
gently.
-
Do not submerge your tattoo in water for an extend amount of
time while it is healing, such as baths or swimming.
-
No swimming, No Tanning while your tattoo is healing
-
Do not listen to your friends or family's advice on
aftercare. Call us if you have questions.
Use common sense when healing your tattoo. I've seen many
tattoos screwed up due to unorthodox healing methods. Just follow these
simple instructions and your tattoo will look great for years to come.
Always remember to use sun block after your tattoo is healed to maintain the
longevity of your color.
