HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR NEW TATTOO

· Leave your bandage on for at least one hour, then (with clean hands) wash your tattoo

with fragrance free, antibacterial soap and warm water. DO NOT SCRUB YOUR TATTOO. Rinse well and blot dry – no rubbing!

· For the first 2 days following your tattoo, apply a light layer of A+D Ointment (or Aquaphor) after each wash. Thereafter, use white, unscented lotion only. DO NOT OVERAPPLY.

· Gently wash, rinse, and blot dry your new tattoo 3-4 times daily, followed by ointment/lotion. Apply more lotion with CLEAN hands whenever your tattoo feels tight between washes.

ABSOLUTELY DO NOT

· Expose your tattoo to direct sunlight or UV light until the tattoo is healed (approximately 2-3 weeks).

· Soak your tattoo in water (baths, swimming pools, hot tubs, etc.).

· Let shower stream spray on your new tattoo for prolonged periods of time. Blot dry after showering with a clean paper towel.

· Pick or scratch at your tattoo or the light scab that will form over your tattoo. Disturbing the scab can result in color loss and scarring on your new tattoo.
