Make sure you wash the tattoo well, ensuring there is no dried blood or ointment left on the tattoo.
Apply Unscented skin lotion twice daily.
Avoid over-moisturizing your tattoo. Too much lotion can increase healing time. We recommend starting with a small amount of lotion, rubbed into your skin well. It will dry out over time. This is normal.
Wash your tattoo daily.
Do not soak under water for two weeks. The tattoo can get wet while normal washing, but no swimming in rivers, lakes, pools, etc.
Do not pick or scratch. The tattoo will get dry and flaky, it may even get a stubborn scab. It will itch like crazy. Do not scratch it. Slap it if you need.
Do not listen to your friends. If you have any questions or need some touch-up, please ask the artist that did your tattoo.
