First and foremost, thank you for getting tattooed!

- Before leaving the shop, your new tattoo will be carefully bandaged.

- You can keep this bandage on for the next 2-12 hours. Be sure not to leave it on longer than 12 hours.

- Wash your hands before removing bandage.

- Carefully remove bandage, and gently wash your tattoo with warm water and antibacterial liquid soap. (I recommend using Dial Gold)

- Air dry, or gently pat dry with a clean paper towel. Do not use a fabric towel.

- Apply a THIN layer of either A&D or Aquaphor. It is important that your new tattoo breathe, so only use a small amount.

- Clean your tattoo 2-3 times a day for the next week.

- After the first week you can switch to using a non scented lotion instead of either A&D or Aquaphor.

* Do not pick at any scabs that may form.

* Do not submerge your new tattoo in water for at least 2 weeks. No swimming, hot tubs, or baths. (Showers are fine)

* Keep out of direct sunlight for at least 2 weeks.
