congrats on your new tattoo!
what you’ll need to grab once the tattoo is completed and you’re heading home:
Antibacterial unscented soap (liquid dial gold), Aquafor, unscented lotion
how to take care of your fresh tattoo:
Wash your hands with the antibacterial unscented soap.
Remove second skin in shower by pulling out and away from your skin slowly under running water to prevent discomfort (avoid hot water).
Gently wash your tattoo with the palm of your hand with the antibacterial unscented soap.
Let air dry for 3-5 minutes or pat dry with a clean paper towel.
Apply a thin layer of aquafor for the first 2-3 days the second skin is removed.
Switch to unscented lotion after a week, continue to wash and moisturize for 2-3 weeks until fully healed.
!!Leave second skin on for 3-5 days!!
don’t do after
Submerge your fresh tattoo in any water, including: bathtubs, pools, rivers, lakes, hot tubs or hot springs.
No direct sun light, tanning beds, saunas or gym.
Pick at or scratch your tattoo during the healing process.
Definetly do after
Eat a good meal and drink plenty of water, replenish your energy and relax as much as possible— you deserve it!
A pea size or smaller of ointment goes a long way, keep it thin when applying and make sure your tattoo is completely dry before you do.
Once your tattoo is fully healed, daily moisturizing and applying sunscreen when in direct sun will help protect the longevity of your skin and tattoos.
