aftercare
-
immediately after
Keep your bandage on for 1-12 hours. Make sure you wash your hands with antibacterial soap before removing your bandage.
-
the first three days
Gently wash the tattoo with antibacterial, unscented soap (dial, soft soap, etc.) and warm water. Pat dry with a clean towel. Apply a small amount of Aquaphor lotion, or plain white lotion (Vaseline Intensive Care, Lubriderm, etc.) to your clean towel. Make sure lotion is fully absorbed into the skin. If you accidentally apply too much, simply dab area with a clean, dry cloth. Repeat these steps three times a day for the first three days.
-
after three days
After the third day, use lotion as needed, and wash tattoo daily in the shower until it is fully healed. (Generally 2-3 weeks)
-
