• Keep the bandage on for 24-48 hours. If it leaks or is showing signs of irritation, remove it early. You can shower while wearing the bandage before removal, but no submerging.

• To remove, pick an edge of the bandage and gently start pulling it away from the tattoo - rather than peeling towards it. We recommended doing this under warm running water in the shower.

• Coconut oil may be used to remove leftover sticky residue if needed.

• Wash with unscented soap and pat dry with a paper towel.

For the next two weeks:

• Wash hands before touching the tattoo.

• Gently wash with unscented antibacterial soap daily.

• Always pat dry with a clean paper towel.

• Use moisturizer lightly 2-4 times a day - applying too thickly will irritate the tattoo.

• The tattoo will scab and itch. Don’t pick or scratch at it to avoid scarring.

• It can take up to a month to fully heal a tattoo.

For infection or medical concerns, do NOT wait for a response from your artist, please seek medical attention. Signs of infection include but are not limited to: redness, swelling, tenderness of the procedure sight, red streaks going from the procedure site towards the heart, elevated body temperature, or purulent draining from the procedure sight.

• Once it’s healed, wear the highest SPF sunscreen on your tattoo anytime you’re outside to ensure longevity.
