Aftercare Instructions

Tattoo Aftercare Procedure:

• Keep the second skin on for 1 to 2 days then peel off under running water (make sure to wash your hands before peeling off)

• If the second skin is peeling, leaking, or you feel itchy take it off as soon as possible.

• Wash tattoo twice a day morning and night with UNSCENTED antibacterial soap. I recommend the brand Dial.

• After washing and patting dry with a paper towel put a thin layer of Aquaphor (Do not use a towel as they can harbor a lot of bacteria)

• On day 4 or 5 or when the tattoo starts getting flaky/itchy keep washing it morning and night and then feel free to put a thin layer of FRAGRANCE FREE gold bond lotion. If you would prefer, you can keep using a thin layer of Aquaphor.

General Aftercare:

• NO exercising or excessive sweating for the next week.

• NO swimming or submerging in water until the tattoo is fully healed (5 weeks)

• Avoid putting the tattoo under hot water for too long (ex. hot showers)
