CONGRATULATIONS! on your new tattoo(s)! PLEASE follow the instructions below to make the healing process as easy and pain free as possible, and keep your tattoo(s) looking bright and fresh for years to come.
Remove your bandage after two hours and wash the tattoo gently with a fragrance free antibacterial soap.
Gently pat dry with a paper towel. Do not rub back and forth.
Apply a very small pea sized amount of After Inked or an unscented lotion to the area. There should be a very thin coating of ointment on the tattoo.
Wash the tattoo two to three times daily, reapplying After Inked or unscented lotion as needed.
DO NOT PICK SCABS!! This will cause your tattoo to bleed and pull ink out of your skin causing the tattoo to heal patchy in some areas.
Avoid body wash and lotions that have fragrances.
Do not swim or go in a hot tub for at least two weeks.
If possible wear loose clothing over your tattoo while it heals to avoid rubbing that may pull scabs off.
Avoid direct exposure to the sun. After the tattoo is FULLY HEALED you can wear sunscreen over the tattoo to keep it bright and new.
