Tattoo Aftercare
Clean
Keep your tattoo clean, wash your tattoo frequently with soap and water. Do not use a wash cloth, loofah, or anything that exfoliates the skin.
Happy
Keep your tattoo happy. Do not let your tattoo be exposed to the sun while healing. No clothing, jewelry, shoes, underwear, etc that will irritate the tattoo. Use ice to relieve inflammation and to reduce swelling.
Dry
Keep your tattoo dry by not wrapping it or over applying ointment. After washing it, dab it dry and wait 5-10 minutes before applying ointment.
Lubricated
Keep your tattoo dry but soft by applying a very small amount of ointment to prevent the tattoo from over drying and cracking or splitting. Do not use anything that is an antibiotic or contains alcohol. Your Artist can make recommendations on the best product to use to get the best result.
