Taking Care of Your Tattoo

REMOVE COVERING WITHIN 2-4 HOURS

wash hands and then proceed to wash tattoo gently with warm water and fragrance free pump soap. Gently pat dry with a paper towel or let air dry. 

WASH THE TATTOO GENTLY

always wash your hands before applying a very thin layer of baby Aveeno lotion

ONCE THE TATTOO HAS STARTED TO PEEL/FLAKE

• don’t pick at the tattoo

• don’t let anyone else touch it 

• don’t scratch the tattoo

• don’t soak or submerge in water

• don’t allow direct sunlight

• do not wear anything tight or binding, no harsh materials (like denim)

• skip the gym for at least a week

• eat healthy, this will speed up the healing process

• do not go swimming until completely healed (you will be able to tell it’s healed when it isn’t shiny and itchy anymore)

• continue a life of healthy eating

Please allow 4-6 weeks for your tattoo to heal completely.
