Tattoo Aftercare
After Receiving Your Tattoo, Follow These Care Instructions to Avoid Complications & Ensure the Best Results
Beginning within the first two hours of the application of your new tattoo:
- Wash your tattoo thoroughly with an antimicrobial soap (NO BAR SOAP) and warm water twice a day, morning and evening.
- With clean hands, use your fingers with medium pressure during your washes to help remove any dried secretions in the pores of your skin.
- Washing with warm water opens the derma pores and gives your skin a deep clean to prevent scabs from forming.
- Remember to follow washes by applying a very thin layer of Aquaphor Skin Healing Ointment. Redness, swelling and bruising may occur.
- After four days, apply a dye & fragrance-free lotion (in place of the ointment) on your tattoo to prevent it from drying out. The process of dry skin will usually last an additional two weeks.
- After 1 week you can begin washing your tattoo only during your usual bathing routine.
- During the first two weeks: DO NOT go swimming or submerge your new tattoo in the bath or hot tub.
- Prolonged soaking can lead to fading of the tattoo.
- DO NOT pick at scabs or peeling skin during the healing process.
Saniderm (Clear sticky medical film) wrap healing instructions:
- Leave wrap on for three days.
- After three days, remove wrap in the shower or with water, pull towards the tattoo when taking off the wrap.
- After wrap is removed, use unscented lotion (we recommend Aveeno dialing moisturizing lotion or Eucerin original healing).
- If wrap comes off before three days, please refer to the other tattoo after care instructions.
