Aftercare

1. Leave your bandage on until you get home.

2. Take the bandage off when you can clean it well with soap.
DO NOT re-bandage the tattoo after you remove this one.

3. The first time you clean your tattoo is the most important.
Wash the tattoo with warm water and antibacterial soap using
the palm of your hand.

4. Rinse well with water and pat dry with a clean, dry towel.

5. For the first 3-4 days put a small amount of a scent-free lotion
like Lubriderm on your tattoo after you wash it. MAKE SURE IT
IS SCENT -FREE IF YOU DON'T USE LUBRIDERM! DO NOT
USE ANY KIND OF PATROLEUM BASED PRODUCTS!! If
you put too much on, pat excess with a clean towel.

6. REMEMBER, nothin you put on your tattoo will make it heal
faster. You don't want your tatoo to dry out, but you don't want it
too moist either.

7.Try not to get your tattoo wet for too long. No rivers or lakes.
Infections can come easy with dirty water. Do not submerge in
bathwater, hot tubs or swimming pools until the tattoo is healed
(usually two weeks). When you are in the shower, try not to stay
too long. When you get out, pat your tattoo dry. It is not
uncommon for your tattoo to lightly scab. If it does, don't pick at
it! Your scab will fall off when your tattoo is healed. If you pick at
it, ink may pull out of your tattoo and leave a scar.

8. DO NOT LISTEN TO YOUR FRIENDS!!! If you have any
questions or concerns about the healing of your tattoo, don't
hesitate to call your tattoo artist at (803)750-2485

HAPPY HEALING!!!
