Tattoo After Care

We’ve put in our best efforts to give you a piece of art, which you would cherish for a lifetime. And the next part is on you. A large part of how your new tattoo will look after it heals is in your hands! Here are your suggested instructions on how to properly care for your new tattoo and some additional pointers to make sure you have a successful, easy and comfortable healing period. If you have any questions please call us!

Leave bandage on for a minimum of 3 hours. After removing the bandage, clean the tattoo gently with unscented soap lather and normal running water. Rinse well and pat dry with paper tissues / towel. Do not re-bandage. Let it breathe a little in the open air for few minutes.

Once dry, after washing the tattoo, apply a VERY THIN layer of A&D ointment or a drop of baby oil. Repeat this step 2-3 times a day for 3 days. On the 4th day switch to a small amount of unscented hand lotion. Use daily until the tattoo is healed. It will take 2-4 weeks until it is fully healed.

During the healing process your tattoo will peel and flake, this is normal. It will also become very itchy. DO NOT scratch it! If it scabs, allow them to flake off by themselves.

The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.

Keep on applying the cream / oil till your tattoo has completely healed.

NO Gymming, Direct Sunlight, Swimming, SCRATCHING or SOAKING the tattoo for at least 2 weeks. Always use sunblock on healed tattoos!
