Tattoo Aftercare
Bandage Removal
Remove your bandage after 3–4 hrs. DO NOT rebandage your tattoo!
Wash Gently & Often
Wash your tattoo with antibacterial soap and hot water using only your fingertips. No washcloths, no scrubbing, no harsh soaps. Pat dry with a clean towel. Do this 3–4 times daily.
Moisturize Lightly
Apply a thin layer of Lubriderm, Curel, or any fragrance-free, aloe-free lotion with clean hands. A little goes a long way—DON'T OVER DO IT!
No Soaking
Keep your tattoo out of salt water, chlorinated water, or baths for at least 3 weeks. Wait until it's fully healed before swimming, hot tubs, or soaking.
Stay Out of the Sun
Keep your tattoo out of direct sunlight (and tanning beds) for 3 weeks. After healing, always use SPF 30 or higher to protect it.
Let It Heal Naturally
Some peeling and itching is normal—like a sunburn. Do NOT scratch or pick at it. Let it heal clean and strong.
