TATTOO AFTERCARE
INSTRUCTIONS
You have been tattooed by a professional using the
utmost sterilization techniques, and the finest tattooing pigments
available. Now the rest is up to you. By following these simple
aftercare instructions your tattoo will heal properly and be a beautiful
work of art for years to come.
Ø DO NOT USE ON YOUR TATTOO: Neosporin, Triple Antibiotic or anything
else that your "friends" may tell you to use while it is healing - These
can do harm to your healing tattoo. Listen to your Tattoo Artist's
recommendations on what to use.
Ø Leave the bandage on for two hours. Do not re-bandage your tattoo.
Ø When showering, wash your tattoo with an antibacterial soap. Let air
dry then apply a THIN layer of A&D ointment. It is ok to get it wet when
showering however do not soak your tattoo (bath, pool, hot tub, etc.)
until it is healed.
Ø Apply a THIN layer of A&D ointment 3 to 4 times a day for at least 3
to 4 days; you can then start using unscented skin lotion until your
skin is smooth. Wash your tattoo before each new application of A&D
ointment.
Ø Do not over-apply your healing product as it can do harm to your
tattoo.
Ø Avoid using wash clothes or other abrasive materials on your tattoo.
Ø Avoid exposing your tattoo to direct sunlight or tanning beds for
extended periods of time.
Ø Make sure to keep your tattoo free of dirt and debris to avoid
infection.
Ø Do not pick or scratch your tattoo.
Ø It is normal for your tattoo to peel and or flake off; this is part of
the healing process.
Ø It is normal for your tattoo to leak small amounts of ink for the
first few days.
Ø If you have any reaction to any healing products call us for further
instructions.
Please do not hesitate to call or stop by if you have any questions. The
only dumb question is the one you don’t ask.
