after care

STEP 1

Once the bandage is removed (preferably in the shower) lather the tattoo with warm water and fragrance free soap .Only use your hands to wash the tattoo massaging the areas clean - no wash cloths or towels). 

While washing the tattoo be sure to get all of the blood, plasma, and excess pigment that may be on the surface of your skin. 

STEP 2

Rinse the tattoo well and  blot dry with a clean paper towel. (tattooed area should feel clean to the touch- not greasy)

STEP 3

Once the area is dry you may apply a LIGHT layer of Aquaphor not to be used more than 2 days, then switch to a white unscented lotion. Or you may start to use  lotion right away.

Wash and re-apply 2-3 times per day. 

*TIP when applying lotion to tattoo it should be applied lightly! If the tattoo is overly shiny or wet then you've applied too much.
