It's important to keep this bandage on for 3 days, and when it's time to remove it, do so while you're in the shower. Be gentle when scrubbing for a few seconds to remove any excess residue, and then dry the area by patting it with a clean paper towel.

To keep your tattoo clean, cleanse it at least once or twice daily, depending on your activity level. Wait until the following day or when the tattoo is very dry before moisturizing.

M O I S T U R I Z E

To keep your tattoo well-moisturized, apply a thin layer of unscented lotion once or twice daily. Avoid using too much lotion, as it can suffocate the tattoo.

During the healing process, it's best to wear loose clothing to prevent peeling skin from sticking to your clothes. Tight clothing should be avoided.

It's recommended to wait for 3-4 days before engaging in any rigorous physical activities or exercising. While exercising, wear loose-fitting clothing and avoid excessive stretching or sweating on the tattooed area. These actions can negatively impact the healing process and increase the risk of infection.

S U N & W A T E R

it is important to avoid sun exposure and water (including swimming, soaking, and baths) until it has fully healed. Once healed, I always recommend applying sunscreen to protect it when necessary. This simple step can go a long way in preserving the longevity and quality of your tattoo.

H E A L I N G

Your tattoo will require up to 4-6 weeks to fully heal. If you notice any areas that have fallen out or faded during this time, feel free to reach out to me to schedule your complimentary first touch-up session. (Free touch up valid within the first year of getting the tattoo)

D O N ’ T S

It's important not to pick or scratch the healing skin while it's peeling, as this can interfere with the healing process and result in the need for a touch-up. If you have any questions or concerns during the healing process, please don't hesitate to reach out to me. However, if you notice any signs of infection, please seek medical attention from your doctor immediately.
