How to care for your Tattoo

-- Leave bandage on for one hour. Using your fingertips, wash your tattoo with luke warm water and a mild soap with no fragrance. Make sure to wash off all the plasma "clear fluid" from your tattoo. Do not rebandage.

-- After washing, pat dry with a paper towel. Let air dry for a few minutes.

-- Apply a small amount of unscented lotion to the tattoo. No petroleum products!

-- Wash and lotion your tattoo 3-5 times daily for 2 weeks. If it feels tight or dry, apply more lotion. Always wash your hands beforehand! If someone is helping you care for your tattoo, make sure they wash their hands first!

-- When peeling occurs, DO NOT pick or scratch at it. You can damage the tattoo! Just keep gently washing and applying lotion and let the excess skin fall off naturally.

-- Keep away from sun, pools, lakes, tanning or hot tubs for a month. Showers are fine. If bathing, do not soak the tattoo.

-- Remember, a tattoo is an open wound. Bacteria and viruses live everywhere we touch. Make sure your hands are clean before touching the tattoo.
