CARE

 

Well, here's the interesting part. I say that because mary artists will have MANY different ways of instructing you as to how to care for your new tatoo. It's not that one way is THE right way, and all the other ways are wrong (with the exception of a few idiots). But one must adhere to their artist's instructions and DO NOT listen to friends, neighbors or anyone else offering their personal remedy for aftercare. These are my instructions, and if you got a tattoo from me, then I expect you to follow MY instructions as follows:

1. Remove bandage after 2 or so hours. DO NOT rebandage tattoo, unless directed to do so.

2. Wash tattoo with mild soap and water. Pat dry gently.

3. Apply THIN coat of any antibiotic ointment (A&D, Bacitracin, Triple Antibiotic, Neosporin) 4 - 6 times daily, or as needed for 5-7 days, unless directed to do otherwise.

4. Shower as usual. Wash tattoo gently and pat dry.

5. After 5-7 days, apply hand lotion or good moisturizer for an additional 4-7 days.

6. NO picking or scratching tattoo while healing. NO direct sunlight to tattoo or soaking (baths, pools, oceans, etc.) for 2 FULL weeks.
