Tattoo Aftercare
Remove bandage after one hour, do not keep it on more than two hours. Never re-bandage. Wash tattoo gently with cool, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly, lightly pat dry with a clean towel. With clean hands apply a thin layer of tattoo aftercare lotion or A&D ointment, and work it into the tattoo. Do not over-lubricate your tattoo, but don’t allow it to get too dry.
*Do not use alcohol or peroxide.
*Do not pick or scratch.
*Do not go swimming or soak in water for two weeks.
Keep your new tattoo out of direct sunlight during healing. Regular application of sunscreen when your tattoo is exposed to sun or tanning bed (after it is healed) will prolong the life of your tattoo.
If rash occurs (bumps on or around the tattoo as with an allergic reaction) or redness persists, discontinue use of all topical products and call us for suggestions on product alternatives.
