Aftercare
-
Take off the wrap in an hour or when you get home.
-
Wash gently with warm water and antibacterial soap. Morning and at night.
-
Pat dry with a towel.
-
Keep the tattoo dry for the first two days ( except of course when cleansing your tattoo).
-
After the first two days, your tattoo will naturally begin to peel and scab. It will be very itchy. Do not pick, peel, or scratch your tattoo. This will damage your tattoo and prolong the healing process.
-
You can now apply a thin layer of lotion over the tattoo twice a day.
