After Care:
Leave the bandage on for 1 hour. . .
Leave the bandage on for 1 hour. Wash your hands and then wash your tattoo with warm water and a mild soap. Do not bandage your tattoo again unless you were instructed to do so by your artist. Rub lightly with a bare hand as you wash off any blood, ointment and excess ink. Once you’re finished washing the tattoo, gently pat it dry with a clean towel. Wash your tattoo at least 2x a day (morning and night), as well as anytime that you may have sweat excessively or been in a dirty environment (gym, work, etc.).
Once your tattoo is dry. . .
Once your tattoo is dry, apply a thin layer of Bepanthen or Bepanthen First Aid to your new tattoo. DO NOT put too much on as you may get a heavy scab which will slow the healing time and cause excess ink to be pushed out of your tattoo giving it a faded look.
Your tattoo will peel off. . .
Your tattoo will peel/scab off in 7-14 days. DO NOT pick or scratch your tattoo. While your tattoo is healing avoid swimming (salt water/chlorine) and baths, quick showers are ok.
Avoid sun exposure. . .
Avoid exposure to the sun while your tattoo heals and use a quality sunscreen after it is fully healed up.
If you have any questions, give the shop or your tattoo artist a ring.
