AFTERCARE

AFTERCARE

Fresh art needs care to heal well and age gracefully. You will leave with a medical-grade bandage and a printed copy of these instructions.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED

UNSCENTED LIQUID SOAP
UNSCENTED MOISTURIZER
PAPER TOWEL
A LITTLE BABY OIL

01 · Leave the waterproof bandage on for one week, or as your artist directs.

02 · Some fluid under the wrap is normal. Replace it after 24 hours only if instructed.

03 · Remove it in the shower, pulling in the direction of hair growth. Baby oil can loosen edges.

04 · Wash gently with unscented liquid soap and your hands. Never scrub.

05 · Rinse, pat dry with paper towel, then use a very thin layer of unscented moisturizer.

06 · Avoid direct sunlight and submerged water for 4 to 6 weeks.

07 · Once healed, use sunscreen whenever the tattoo sees sun to prevent premature fading.
