AFTERCARE
Keep the adhesive bandage on for 24 hours up to 3 days. Since it is breathable and waterproof, you can shower with it. You can resume everyday activities with minimal discomfort. The adhesive bandages protect your new tattoo from scabbing, infection, and other irritants.
Before taking the bandages off, make sure your hands are clean.
When removing your bandage, rinse the tattoo with warm water (not hot) and clean your tattoo with antibacterial soap. I recommend using Dial liquid gold (Plain) soap, then pat down with a clean paper towel until dry, and apply a thin layer of ointment. I recommend using Hustle Butter.
Repeat the process by washing twice a day with warm water and antibacterial soap, then apply a thin layer of ointment 3-4 times a day for a week.
After using the ointment for a week, time to change to lightweight lotion for the next 3 to 5 weeks until your tattoo is fully healed.
Please keep your tattoo clean and moisturized.
Do not scratch or pick even if it becomes itchy.
Avoid soaps with any fragrances or harsh chemicals.
Avoid antibiotic and petroleum-based ointments, such as Vaseline.
Avoid direct sunlight.
Avoid soaking tattoo in water. No swimming.
No working out.
TOUCH-UP
Before deciding if your tattoo needs retouching, please allow a month minimum for it to heal completely. Once that time has passed, email me directly with a picture of your tattoo and the concerns you have. I will respond and offer time to perform the touch-up if deemed necessary.
The first scheduled touch-up is free of charge, with the exception of the finger, hand, foot, ear, and inner lip tattoos. Further touch-ups or alterations will require additional fees.
