Please follow the tattoo aftercare instructions found on this page; never hesitate to call the shop if you are unsure or have any questions!

• Remove bandage after 2 hours (do not re-bandage)
• Wash tattoo with your hand (make sure hand is clean) using warm, soapy water. Rinse with cold water. Don’t over soak your tattoo. Keep out of the direct spray of the shower. Pat dry, DO NOT rub with towel.
• For 3 to 5 days or until tattoo is healed, apply Vitamin A&D Ointment or Aquaphor 3 to 4 times daily after washing tattoo. Keep tattoo moist. If allergic to these ointments, use a water based lotion such as Curel.
• Tattoo will flake. DO NOT pick at the flakes or you may pull the color out. Try not to let clothing rub on your tattoo while it is healing.
• ABSOLUTELY NO swimming or sun tanning until healed. Apply a high SPF sun block to tattoo after healed to prevent fading.
