Tattoo Aftercare
Remove the bandage after 2-3 hours and gently wash your tattoo with lukewarm water and fragrance-free (anti-bacterial) soap. Pat dry with a clean paper towel, and apply a thin layer of fragrance-free lotion or ointment. Repeat this process 2-3 times (depending on dry the tattoo is; less is more! less it breathe!) a day for the first 2 weeks.
Do not scratch or pick at your tattoo, as this can cause scarring, infection, or color loss. Do not apply petroleum jelly, alcohol, or peroxide on your tattoo. If you experience any unusual redness, swelling, or discharge, contact your tattoo artist or a medical professional immediately.
