Recommended Aftercare Product: St. Ives Collagen Elastin
- Leave wrap on your new tattoo for 2 hours at the most.
This is the only bandage you ever want to have on your tattoo (it needs to
breathe)
- Wash gently 2 times daily, up to 3 times if needed, with a
mild non-deodorant soap such as Ivory Pure Soap or Baby's Own
Unscented (do dyes or perfumes), using your hands only (no sponges,
clothes, etc.)
- Rinse thoroughly, letting water run past the tattoo, not
directly onto it. The high pressure spray may damage your tattoo.
- Let air dry or pat with a lint-free towel. Do not use
paper towel.
- Apply a thin layer of aftercare product. Remove
aftercare product from its container, being careful not to contaminate it.
Use clean fingers to gently apply an even, thin coverage of aftercare
product. If shiny, remove excess. Apply aftercare product 5 to 8
times daily, before bed and immediately in the morning - DO NOT LET TATTOO
DRY OUT.
- Tattoos crack when dry - especially on parts of the body
that have a large range of motion.
- No scratching or picking at your tattoo. Any scabs
that come off during normal, gentle washing or aftercare application is
normal.
- Stay out of hot tubs, swimming pools, oceans, lakes, rivers
and baths for 3 weeks.
- Keep out of direct sun light for at least 5 weeks. Use
sun block SPF 40 or higher until death. Moisturize until death.
This will keep the appearance of your tattoo looking sharp and appealing.
