AFTERCARE FOR YOUR TATTOO
1. After 1-3 hours, remove the bandage gently.
2. Wash with warm water and mild soap like dial (an unscented, antibacterial soap) then apply and thin coat of Aquaphor
DO NOT REBANDANGE.
3. Repeat Step 2 two-three times a day for the next 3 days.
4. After 3 days, replace the Aquaphor with a hand lotion like Curel or Lubriderm (unscented/mild) until skin returns to its pre-tattooed condition (aprox. 2 weeks)
5. Stay out of sunlight and tanning booths until tattoo is healed, at least 2 weeks.
6. DO NOT soak tattoo in tub; sauna, Jacuzzi or go swimming while your new tattoo is healing. Showers are fine just try yo keep scented soaps from rubbing into the tattoo
7. Do not rub or pick the treated area while it is healing. Loss or color and/or infection could occur. If it looks as though an infection is starting please call. Usually all it takes is a little neopsporin.
8. Extreme sun and exposure over the years can and will fade your tattoo. This can be minimized by using a strong sunscreen, at least SP15.
