Tattoo Care:

  • Leave the bandage on overnight.

  • Using clean hands or a paper towel, please wash gently using warm water and unscented antibacterial soap.

  • Pat dry with a new paper towel only. Do not use a hand or body towel.

Typically during the first few days, you may notice weeping/oozing, redness, swelling, scabbing, bruising, peeling, and/or itchiness. Please notify your artist if you see any other reactions.

For the next two weeks, PLEASE AVOID:

  • Direct sunlight on your tattoo

  • Swimming/Soaking in water

  • Exfoliating, itching, or attempting to hurry the scabbing/peeling process.

  • Overuse of ointment!
