The first few days of your tattoo is one of the most important days for your new tattoo. Please take care of it.

DO’S

• Leave the bandage on for 24 hours. Your tattoo will ooze, but that’s normal, this is just plasma and excess ink.

• Remove the bandage while having a shower, cleanse the tattooed area with unscented soap and warm water. Please make sure all the plasma and ink has been removed gently with your hands.  Do not scrub the tattoo with a brush or towel. Pat dry with a clean paper towel.

•  If you are using second skin, put on another sheet and leave it on for 3 days.

• If you are not using second skin, keep the tattoo away from water for 2-3 days

• Repeat cleansing steps and leave the tattoo

• Use unscented lotion

Your tattoo can get dry and itchy so moisturizing it is normal. PLEASE use water based unscented lotions like lubriderm. Do not use any oil based products like vaseline during the healing process.

DON’TS

• Do not pick at your tattoo, I understand it is very tempting but just don’t do it.

• Do not soak your tattoo in a bath, swimming or spa during this period.

• Do not do strenuous activities for the first week or so.

Most pieces take around a month to heal so please be mindful and take good care of it. Touch ups are not usually needed if you follow these steps closely.
