Aftercare and Proper Healing

Wash your tattoo twice a day with antibacterial soap, non-scented is best. Remember to lather the soap in your hands first, then apply soap to tattoo. Do not apply soap directly to tattoo. If you are going to buy some I recommend dial gold.

​

Air dry or pat dry with a clean paper towel.

Apply a thin layer of un-scented lotion 2-3 times a day,

make sure to rub the lotion all the way in, do not oversaturate the tattoo. I recommend Lubriderm, original un-scented,

Aquaphor also works great as long as it is applied very thin.

​

While healing your tattoo keep it clean and dry but allow it to breathe. Do not wrap it unless completely necessary for work. Try not to wear tight fitting clothing for the first few days.

 

Your tattoo will look worse before it looks better, fear not! Scabbing, itchy feeling, peeling, any slight irritation is completely normal. Your tattoo should heal in roughly 3-5 weeks depending on the piece.
