Tattoo Aftercare

So, Now your tattoo is finished , and your Artist sends you out the Door with Instructions. What do you do now? Now, it's time for you to do your job. Your Artist did his/her job by giving you a Great Tattoo in a Safe, Clean atmosphere. They gave you instructions, and told you all of the Do's & Dont's. Always Follow The Instructions provided to You by your Artist.

When my Customers leave, I make sure they are armed with all of the knowledge and resources
that they need. I give them Verbal Instructions, Written Instructions and make sure they have a
contact number just in case they need to ask me more Questions. Below are my Aftercare Instructions.

1. Leave the tattoo bandaged for 1-4 hrs.
2. Remove the bandage and wash the tattoo thoroughly with warm soapy water.
Be sure to remove all dried up blood from the tattoo.
3. Do Not Re-Bandage your new tattoo. Allow tattoo to "Breathe".
4. Allow tattoo to Dry for 24 hrs. After the first 24 hrs. you will want to start using a Fragrant Free Lotion Daily.
5. Wash your tattoo 2 times Daily. Allow Tattoo to air Dry for atleast 1 hr. before applying the Lotion . You will apply lotion 4-5 times throughout the day. Do this Until your tattoo is healed.
6. Swimming or soaking your new tattoo is not advised. Tanning is also not advised.
Usually you want to refrain from these activites for about 2 weeks .
7. Use your common sense. Do not pick scabs. Do Not scrub your new tattoo.

These are the Instructions I give my Customers. These are by no means the only way to heal
your new tattoo. Your artist may give you another set of instructions, I suggest following whatever
instructions your artists gives you.

By not following the instructions your artist gives you , you may damage your new tattoo .
It may not heal up properly and have missing lines or colors. This will result in you having to get
your tattoo touched up.

So, if both the Artist and tattoo collector both do their jobs, You will end up with a great tattoo.
