Aftercare

✦ Second Skin

Keep on for 3-5 days, but no longer than 5 days. If the second skin starts to peel, take off the second skin and give your tattoo a good wash.

✦ You can shower with your second skin, but do no submerge your tattoo under water while it’s still healing. This means no swimming! No pools, beach or lake.

✦ Suran Wrap

If we wrapped your tattoo in suran wrap, take it off once you get home and give your tattoo a wash.

✦ After bandage is removed

✦ Use unscented soap, and aftercare cream/lotion to avoid irritation. Any irritation can lead to an infection.

✦ You don’t need to put any aftercare/lotion on the tattoo until it scabs over. Too much moisture can slow the healing. Just use a little bit if you feel like you need it. Aquaphor’s healing ointment is my recommended product!

✦ No make up, bronzer, fake tan, perfume on the tattoo until full healed or it might get infected.

✦ Try not to go to the gym until your tattoo scabs. It’s an open wound and bacteria can get in.

✦ Keep your tattoo as clean as possible and it should heal in 2-4 weeks depending on your body.

✦ If you have any questions, let me know. First touch up is free with no time restraint. Anything after may be charged depending what needs to be done.
