Aftercare
Before your appointment
Dress accordingly to your tattoo placement. Wear loose clothing that won’t rub on your tattoo.
If you are getting tattooed in an area with hair that needs to be shaved, I ask you do that 24 hrs before your appointment.
Tattoo Aftercare
Leave bandage on for at least 2-5 days, no longer than 5 days. Since the bandage is clear, you may notice pigment, fluid, or blood. This is normal.
Remove your bandage with warm soapy water.
Use antibacterial soap and clean 2-3 times per day. Try to use fragrance/dye free soap.
After cleaning, apply a thin layer of aquaphor. Do not overdo it. Do not pick or itch tattoo while healing.
Avoid tanning beds, the sun, sunscreen, hot tubs, pools, lakes, oceans for the first 4 weeks.
