Thank you so much for letting me create a tattoo for you!
Now it is YOUR responsibility to take care of it through its healing process.

BANDAGE

• Leave your bandage on for 24 hours. It will collect liquid underneath the bandage.
If that liquid is leaking out of the bandage or you are getting water in it when taking
showers then take it off immediately and start cleaning process.

CLEANING

• ALWAYS WASH HANDS BEFORE TOUCHING YOUR TATTOO!
• Peal bandage off of tattoo.
• Save washing the tattoo for the very end of shower. Soap up your hand, wash off
and rinse with water. ( Use your hands to wash! DO NOT use washcloths or loofahs!
They will scratch and irritate the tattoo.) You will do this EVERY TIME YOU SHOWER
until your tattoo has completely pealed and is smooth to the touch.
• Getting out of the shower now you will PAT DRY the tattoo with a clean towel.
Then let the tattoo air dry for 10 to 15 minutes.

LOTION

• Now apply a THIN LAYER of a white and unscented hand lotion or Aquaphor.
Stay away from fragrances and dyes because they can irritate your tattoo.
• Rub lotion into skin thoroughly.
• Anytime, through out the day, if your skin feels tight or dry then apply more
lotion. Try not to lotion more than 3 or 4 times per day.
• You will continue this until tattoo has completely peeled and is smooth to the
touch. Generally healing time will take 2 to 3 weeks.

Remember again to ALWAYS WASH HANDS BEFORE TOUCHING YOUR TATTOO!

Refrain from exposing tattoo to direct sunlight. No swimming, hot tubs, or anything that will soak your tattoo in water at least until ALL pealing is done and your skin is back to smooth. Always remember: clean hands, clean clothes, clean towels, clean bedsheets!

Aftercare is important for the healing process of your tattoo. So take care of my artwork! Any questions, do not be afraid to ask!

THANK YOU!
