Our Tattoo Care
For optimal healing, please follow these instructions:
1. Wait between 6-24 hours, then remove the bandage with clean hands to shower.
2. Wash with unscented Ivory Soap, or unscented baby soap. Gently rinse tattoo area with warm water and then lather with soap. After, rinse the entire area with hot water until the tattoo stops stinging, and pat dry with a clean towel. Only do this once.
3. Apply ointment 48 hours after your shower. Apply a very small amount of the A&D ointment as directed by your artist. Do this once a day with clean hands for 5-7 days, making sure that the tattoo is dry before applying.
Do not touch or pick at tattoo or scabs.
No dirty hands, objects, or polyester on the tattoo. Cotton fabrics are best.
No swimming or submerging tattoo in water. Showering is fine.
Seek medical attention if any of the following persists for hours or more: excessive redness, swelling, or weeping.
Please call us or come by if you have any concerns about your new tattoo!
