After Tattoo:
- always wash your hands prior to touching your tattoo. Dirty hands can spread infection.
- 4 to 5 hours after receiving your tattoo, remove the bandage and gently wash the tattoo with soap and water. This will remove ointment, excess color and white blood cells
- dry your tattoo by blotting it with a dry, clean, lint-free paper towel. Do not rub your tattoo
- use ointment approximately 2-3 times a day. Apply enough ointment to keep the tattoo from getting dry- if you let it crack, it may scar. But do not drown the tattoo in ointment . Soggy is not good too. Listen to your body
- ointment recommended: Bepanthen , Panthenol, Vaseline
- DO NOT USE: FRAMYKOIN, BABY OIL!!!! ....."removes" the colour
- do not cover the tattoo with folie again … let it “breathe”
- keep your tattoo out of direct sunlight and away from for 14 days. No swimming in rivers, pools, or spas. Also, avoid long baths. Take the short shower
- your tattoo may scab, flake or peel. This is natural. Do not pick at the scab. This may remove ink and damage your tattoo or make an infection
- if you don’t follow aftercare instruction it can cause an infection or color fading
- If you think you are allergic to the tattoo or the aftercare products, or believe that you have an infection, please contact tattoo artist or doctor
- Use sunscreen of at least SPF 30 after it has healed
