Aftercare
First 24 Hours
Leave your bandage on overnight and for no more than 24 hours.
When you remove the bandage, wash your tattoo in the shower or under warm water. For best results, follow these tips:
Wash with antibacterial soap using your fingers to remove slimy residue until your tattooed skin feels similarly to the rest of your body.
Pat completely dry with a strong paper towel. Do not rub or scrub. Do not use cloth.
Apply a thin layer of unscented ointment like Aquaphor Healing Ointment.
Day 2 to Day 7
Wash your tattoo using this process 1-2 times a day or after skin gets sweaty or dirty for up to one week.
Week 2 to Week 4
Apply moisturizer whenever your tattoo starts to look or feel dry. Avoid the following:
Direct sun exposure
Picking any scabs that form
Soaking in water of any kind
Shaving or exfoliating
Wearing tight-fitting clothing
