Aftercare

Traditional Bandage

  • Roughly 2-4 hours after leaving the shop you will (with clean hands) unwrap and discard your bandage.

  • Wash your tattoo with hot water and liquid fragrance free soap using clean hands. We recommend Neutrogena Facial Cleansing Formula. Risne your tattoo and pat dry with a clean paper towel.

  • Repeat the cleaning technique 2-3 times a day, especially before bed and when you wake up, for the next 2 days.

  • Continue washing as directed above and apply a small amount of fragrance and dye free body lotion until healed. We recommend Lubriderm, Cetaphil, or Eucerin.

  • As your tattoo heals the skin will begin to peel and flake off, and you may also experience mild scabbing. This is normal, DO NOT pick at or scratch the tattoo as that can result in loss of pigment and damage to your skin.

  • Ensure that your bedding and clothing are fresh and clean during the healing process. If you have pets it is especially important to clear your bedding and clothing of fur and dander so it does not come into contact with your fresh tattoo.

  • If your tattoo sticks to your clothing, wet the area before pulling it away from your tattoo.
