Aftercare

LEAVE BANDAGE ON OVERNIGHT

• Remove the bandage in the morning and clean the tattoo with warm water and a mild unscented soap (perfumes may irritate the tattoo).
• Allow the tattoo to dry for about an hour.
• With clean hands apply a white, unscented hand lotion (ie. Bigfoot Replenish Lotion) to the tattoo.
  • As you would hand lotion, rub in until gone.
  • A little goes a long way.
  • Apply 2-3 times a day and continue for 2 weeks.
• If scabbing occurs:
  • Do not pick or scratch.
  • Allow scab to heal on its own.
  • Tattoo will heal fine if undisturbed.
• Keep tattoo as clean as possible. However, no need to re bandage as the tattoo needs to breathe still.
• If the area becomes itchy, tap don’t scratch.

THINGS TO AVOID WITH A FRESH TATTOO

• Direct sunlight
•  Soaking tattoo in water (ie. long baths)
•  Chlorine (ie. hot tubs, swimming pools)
• If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact the shop!

ENJOY YOUR TATTOO!
