Tattoo Aftercare

Proper aftercare is essential for ensuring your tattoo heals beautifully and maintains its quality for years to come. I recommend following these steps to ensure the best results.

Healing Instructions

Keep bandage on for 2-4 hours after session

Wash gently with antibacterial soap 2-3 times daily

Apply thin layer of unscented lotion 2-3 times daily

Avoid soaking (pools, baths, ocean) for 2-3 weeks

No picking or scratching during healing process

Avoid direct sunlight for 2-3 weeks

Remember that everyone's skin heals differently. If you notice excessive redness, swelling, or any signs of infection, please contact me or seek medical attention immediately.

Recommended Products

Aquaphor Healing Ointment

Lubriderm Daily Moisture Lotion

Antibacterial soap (Dial, Softsoap)

These products are recommended based on my experience, but you may use similar alternatives. Always choose fragrance-free and alcohol-free products for tattoo aftercare.
