Aftercare Instructions

TATTOO AFTERCARE

Remove the bandage after one hour. Gently wash your new tattoo with a mild soap and warm water using your fingers only. Make sure to blot dry – do not rub until your tattoo is fully healed. You will not need to apply another bandage.

Apply a thin film of A&D; ointment as often as 4 times a day to keep your tattoo moist for the first

3-4 days. This will prevent a scab from forming over your new tattoo. If a scab does form, do not pick or mess with it. It will naturally fall off in a few days.
Afterwards, apply a good quality, fragrance free, skin moisturizer for two weeks or even longer. This will ensure the brightness and quality of your new tattoo to last a long time.

Do not soak in a bathtub, hot tub, and avoid swimming for up to two weeks. If you are going to be outdoors and exposed to sunlight, be sure to cover your new tattoo with clothing or a dry bandage. Make sure to take the bandage off afterwards so your tattoo is able to breathe and heal faster. After it has healed, protect your tattoo from the sun with a good sun block cream. While your new tattoo is healing, there may be some soreness, swelling, and itchiness.
Do not scratch your new tattoo, the skin moisturizing cream can help with the itchiness, after the 3-4 day period of using ointment.
