Tattoo Aftercare
Initial Aftercare
- Always thoroughly wash your hands with warm water and soap before touching your tattoo.
- After 2 hours remove the bandage.
- Do not re-bandage.
- Clean thoroughly with warm water and soap.
- Let the tattoo air dry, then apply a thin layer of lotion or ointment once a day only.
- Use a plain unscented lotion/ointment: Cetaphil, Curel, Lubriderm or A&D ointment.
Daily Aftercare
- In the shower, lightly wash the tattoo and let air dry.
- Apply a very thin layer of lotion/ointment to tattoo once daily. Less is more.
- Keep your tattoo clean. Always wash your hands thoroughly before you touch your tattoo.
- Don’t pick or scratch the tattoo while it is healing. Flaking of the skin is normal. Leave it be.
- Avoid excess rubbing on clothing. Avoid sunlight exposure, tanning, and swimming for 2 weeks.
