Tattoo Aftercare Instructions
Tattoo Aftercare Instructions
Remove wrap after 1-2 hours (DO NOT WRAP AGAIN FOR ENTIRE HEALING PROCESS), then follow these instructions right after unwrapping for 10-14 days:
1. Wash your tattoo 2-3 times daily (morning and evening)with antibacterial hand soap (Dial Gold is a good one)
2. Pat it dry with a clean towel, and allow it to air dry for 5-10 minutes. You want your skin to be completely dry before applying lotion.
3. Apply Lotion - Any WHITE, NON SCENTED lotion will do (Nivea Cream, Aveeno, Lubriderm, and Jergens are good ones)
After 2-4 days your tattoo will itch, and possibly peel, this is completely normal.
Applying more lotion between washes will help, just wash your hands first before touching your fresh tattoo.
