Tattoo Aftercare

Remove the bandage after about 1 hour. Wash with liquid antibacterial soap and water using your hand only. Wash gently but throughly. Pat dry with a clean paper towel. Apply an unscented, dry skin lotion lotion 2-3 times per day. Rub the lotion in so that no lotion is standing on the skin. You want the tattoo moisturized, you don't want it to appear wet. The tattoo should start peeling like a sunburn in 3-7 days. If it starts to scab you are using to much lotion and need to use less and less often.


It is possible that some ink may stain your sheets for a night, maybe two. This is normal. A white, waxy film may develop over the tattoo after peeling, this is normal and will go away. If you have any questions, message me.
