Aftercare Guidelines - Standard Bandage

Step One: wait 2 hours (or before you go to bed the same day that you get your tattoo) then remove the bandage. Take a hot shower, allowing the HOT water to run over the tattoo for 5 min. Wash gently with your hand. PAT dry or let air dry.

Step Two: *THE NEXT DAY* use coconut oil OR fragrance-free lotion 2-3 X daily for TWO weeks or until there are no more scabs, flakes, or shiny layer.

Total healing time can take up to a month.

While healing, DO NOT:

*go swimming or submerge your tattoo AT ALL (Showers are just fine)

*allow tattoo to be in direct sunlight OR GO TANNING.

*wear anything tight over tattoo (socks, bra or backpack strap, pants, etc,)

*pick, scratch, or itch

* Absolutely NO Neosporin, Vaseline, or A&D
