AFTERCARE
Leave your bandage on for 12 - 24 hours. It needs time to bleed and release plasma. Before you start, make sure your hands are clean and you have unscented antibacterial soap ready. Avoid soap with fragrance, moisture beads or scrubs.

REMOVE -
Carefully remove the bandage and tape. If you feel the bandage sticking to the tattoo, wet it with lukewarm water and gently slide it off.

LATHER -
Make a lather in your hands with soap and warm water. NO washcloths, bath towels, or sponges on a fresh tattoo.

Gently clean the tattoo using a circular motion until all ointment and plasma is removed.

RINSE -
Rinse the tattoo gently until the skin is clean.

DRY -
Pat dry with a clean paper towel then allow to fully air dry for 10-20 minutes. DO NOT SCRUB.

LOTION -
Once the tattoo is dry, apply a very small amount of unscented lotion (no petroleum based products) Gently rub the ointment into your tattoo. Dab any excess off with a clean paper towel. Applying too much ointment can cause your tattoo to "suffocate" Apply only a very thin coat so your tattoo can breathe. Clean your tattoo this way 2x or 3x per day in the shower or sink Until it is healed. There is no need to re-bandage the tattoo, but please be mindful that your tattoo is a wound and when unwrapped, it is prone to dirt and bacteria which may cause infection. Avoid direct contact with any surface.

Sunlight -
Avoid direct sunlight on your tattoo until the tattoo is completely healed. After that, we advise putting on a sunblock (minimum SPE 50) on your tattoo whenever you find yourself in direct sunlight for the rest of your life. The sun will undoubtedly cause damage and compromise the longevity of vour tattoo

Clothing -
Wear loose clothing (preferably cotton) and avoid constricting accessories like bra straps and tight waistbands over a fresh tattoo Avoid dirty sweaty or itchy clothing as they can create healing issues.
