WHAT IS THE RECOMMENDED AFTERCARE?
If plastic wrap is utilized, please keep it on for 2 hours, but we usually use ADHESIVE BANDAGE for our client. Keep the adhesive bandage up on for 3 - 4 days. Since it is breathable and waterproof you can shower. You can resume everyday activities with minimal discomfort. Adhesive bandages protect your new tattoo from scabbing, infection and other irritants.
Before taking the bandages or plastic wrap off, wash your hands with antibacterial soap. We recommend using Dial liquid gold (Plain) soap.
When removing your bandage, rinse the tattoo with warm water (not hot) and antibacterial soap then pat down with a clean paper towel until dry.
After removing your bandage wash twice a day with warm water and antibacterial soap then apply a thin layer of “Hustle Butter” or “Aquaphor” ointment 3-4 times a day.
It is essential to keep your tattoo clean and moisturized. Please seek medical attention if warranted.
