Tattoo Aftercare

The first 24 hours
Leave the bandage on for the first 2 hours.
Take off the bandage and clean the tattoo with mild anti-bacterial soap.
Pat your tattoo dry (do the same after a shower).
For the first 24 hours, do nothing to your tattoo except wash it 3 times.

After the first 24 hours
Apply a very small amount of unscented hand-lotion 3 to 5 times daily.
(I use Curel Ultra-Healing).
Continue this for 5 to 7 days as needed, or until the tattoo flakes off naturally.

The 3 Rules
DO NOT itch, scratch or pick your new tattoo as it heals.

Keep your new tattoo out of intense sunlight.

While it is okay to wet/wash your tattoo, don't over do it
(i.e. no swimming pools, hot-tubs, etc) while your tattoo is healing.

Happy Healing!
