Preserve your art. Follow these steps for perfect healing.
Remove the bandage within 1-3 hours of your session completion.
Wash your tattoo with antibacterial soap. Recommended: Dove or JOHNSON'S baby.
After 15 minutes of washing, apply a very small amount of ointment. Recommended: SS Suffa or Silverex Cream.
Repeat steps 2 & 3 several times a day for the first 3 days.
After the first 3-4 days, switch from ointment to a moisturizing lotion.
Moisturize with Moiste several times daily for the next 2-3 weeks.
Avoid direct sun exposure on your new tattoo. Strictly NO gym activities or swimming.
Consistently use lotion and high-SPF sunblock to preserve the vibrancy of your tattoo.
Do NOT scratch or pick your tattoo while it is scabbing or peeling. Let it heal naturally.
Listen to your Tattoo Artist's professional advice, not your friends!
If you don't take good care of your tattoo, you will be responsible for that and you have to pay double for touch up.
