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

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.
