When you get home from your appointment, take OFF the plastic wrap and wash out the tattoo gently but thoroughly with lukewarm water and ANIBACTERIAL UNSCENTED LIQUID soap (I recommend Dr.Bronners Baby soap).

​

Let it AIR DRY, once dry put a thin layer of AQUAFOR or VASALINE on the tattoo, just enough so that it feels tacky to the touch. DO NOT put copious amounts on-this will really effect the healing and can lead to infection.

​

REPEAT this process of washing and moisturizing 3-5 TIMES PER DAY, for ONE WEEK

​

For TWO WEEKS after the tattoo, avoid hot tubs, baths, rivers, oceans and pools. Keep the tattoo OUT OF THE SUN for at least THREE WEEKS and put mineral sunscreen on afterwards. A tattoo isn't truly healed for months and sun exposure can significantly lighten it.
