Always listen to your artist's aftercare instructions and wash your hands before touching your tattoo.

Remove the bandage after 4-6 hours unless your artist tells you otherwise.

Clean your tattoo with a little hot water and mild, unscented soap, removing any blood, ink, and plasma that is left over.

Do not re-wrap your tattoo unless instructed to by your artist.

Continue to clean your tattoo 1-2 times daily until it is fully healed (usually 1-2 weeks).

After a few days, if your skin is particularly dry,  you can start to apply a small amount of unscented lotion, such as Lubriderm, 2-3 times a day, until the tattoo is fully healed.

Most importantly, keep your tattoo clean and do not pick the scabs. If you have any questions, please contact your artist.
