How do I care for my new tattoo?
- Leave bandage on for at least 3 hours (waterproof bandages available).
- Wash 3-4 times daily with anti-bacterial soap and water. Blot dry with towel or let air-dry.
- Apply light coating of Aquaphor after each cleaning, or as needed for 5-7 days.
- When the tattoo starts the peeling process of healing, you can switch to a hand lotion. Only use unscented lotion without dyes.
- DO NOT PICK AT TATTOO.
- No swimming for 2 weeks (without waterproof bandage).
- No direct sunlight for 30 days. Even after tattoo is healed, sunlight will fade the coloring of your tattoo. Apply 30 SPF sunblock directly on tattoo before exposure to the sun.
