Aftercare
So, you’ve just spent good money on a brand spanking new tattoo, now comes the most important part: Taking care of it!
Regular Bandage
1) Take off your bandage 1-2 hours from the time it was finished
2) Wash your hands then gently wash your tattoo with cool water and a non-scented soap ( liquid gold Dial soap is best), pat it dry, then let it air dry for a few minutes.
3) Apply a THIN coat of either Aquaphor, Redemption, Hustle Butter, or Snakeoil Aftercare and rub it in really good.
4) Repeat steps 2 and 3 two to three times daily
5) Avoid direct sunlight, tanning beds, swimming, hot tubs, pools, the ocean, and soaking your tattoo in the bathtub for 2-3 weeks. After your tattoo is fully healed use 60 spf or higher on your tattoo if you are going to be in the sun.
6) DO NOT scratch or pick at your tattoo,
Saniderm or any other clear sticky-type bandage
Leave bandage on for minimum of 8 hours (if it will stay on). You can leave it on up to 7 days. I usually leave mine on about 3 day (about the time it starts to get annoying )
After that time follow steps 2 through 6.
