Aftercare of Your New Tattoo

If your tattoo has been wrapped with plastic, leave on for one hour.
In one hour wash your tattoo, using your fingertips, with warm water and anti-bacterial soap. Do not use a wash cloth or sponge on new tattoo until it is healed.
Rinse off and pat dry. You will need to pat dry tattoo for until its healed.
Use a mild, non-scented lotion. Apply the lotion periodically, whenever the tattoo feels dry and tight. Use lotion for a few days as needed.
If flaking or scabbing occurs, do not pick or scratch at it. Let the tattoo flake off on its own.
Do not put a covering (i.e. bandage) on tattoo. The more air that your new tattoo receives, the faster it will heal.
Do not expose tattoo to the sun for first two weeks.
Do not soak new tattoo until flaking is done. No baths (showers are fine), hottubs, swimming pools, ocean.
For best results and color retention, apply spf 45 or higher sunscreen to tattoo, after it has healed, whenever tattoo is going to be exposed to the sun.
