Aftercare

• Remove bandage after 1.5 to 2 hours
• Wash tattoo with warm soapy water using your hands. No loofahs or wash cloths. Dial hand pump soap is a great mild antibacterial soap we recommend.
• NO BAR SOAP!
• Air dry your tattoo after cleaning
• Go get some  Lubriderm. You can pick it up at any drug store or we carry travel sizes in stock for your convenience. 
• Apply a thin layer of Lubriderm to your tattoo.  Do not over lotion your skin but apply when ever tattoo is dry. 
• Repeat these steps every 3 to 4 hours. Do not let your tattoo dry out.
  
  
• No swimming, soaking, hot tubbing, or bathing. And definitely no rolling in jello until the tattoo is fully healed. Showers are acceptable, but try to avoid letting your tattoo soak.
• Avoid direct sunlight and tanning beds. UV is the worst for a fresh/healing tattoo. After your tattoo is healed apply a nice strong sun block to avoid fading.
• No picking, scratching or shaving your tattoo.
  Sometimes you many develop dark heavy scabs or even a heat rash, this is not abnormal.  Everyone's healing time is different. Some tattoos will heal quicker than others. Bigger tattoos will heal slower than smaller ones.
• If you have excessive swelling try to keep the area elevated above or at heart level.
