AfterCare:
Taking care of your new tattoo
Your tattoo is an investment — how you care for it in the first two weeks determines how well it heals and how long it lasts. Follow these instructions and reach out to your artist directly if you have any questions.
✅ Do:
Remove bandage after 2 hours. Do not rebandage. Your tattoo needs to breathe in order to heal, or leave Saniderm on per your artist’s recommendations (not more than 4 days)
Keep your new tattoo clean – wash morning and night with clean hands and warm water using a fragrance & dye free soap – Pat dry.
Wash after any time it is exposed to heavy sweating, dirt, or any outside elements
Apply a thin layer of fragrance & dye free lotion three times daily, or whenever the tattoo feels dry or tight
Call your artist if you have any questions or concerns regarding your new tattoo
❌ Don’t:
Scratch or pick at your new tattoo, this will cause damage.
No Vaseline or Neosporin
No swimming or soaking for at least two weeks or until the tattoo is healed. Normal showers are fine
Keep pets away from the area for two weeks
No suntanning for two weeks, after that always use sunscreen to protect your tattoo, direct exposure to the sun will fade your tattoo.
