TATTOO AFTERCARE

1. Remove the bandage after 2 hours and wash with warm water and mild liquid soap.
(Dr Bronner's magic soaps, Dial Antibacterial fragrance free and Soft Soap fragrance free are examples.)
Rebandage with clean plastic wrap

2. Apply a thin layer of Bacitracian ointment, or aveeno daily moisturizing lotion just enough to give a shine.
Do so 3 to 4 times a day for 2 days washing the tattoo
in between applications of ointment and applying new clean bandage.

3. After 2 days of ointment and bandage switch to a fragrance free lotion and use for 10 days.
(Aveeno daily moisturizing lotion or Lubriderm Seriously Sensitive are good examples)
You should always keep your tattoo moist until healed
so if you need to apply longer do so.

4. Never pick or scratch your tattoo, if it itches I recommend a light slap to the area.

5. Never swim or tan while the tattoo is healing, and if you do tan,
use a high-rated sunblock and cover the area with a piece of paper.
(The paper will block the rays and your tattoo will look brighter and it will last longer.)
