AFTERCARE TDLR:


Gentle reminder that not every person’s healing journey may look the same. Below is only a general two-week guideline to ensure the best results. 
If you have any general concerns or questions, please do not hesitate to reach out via email instead of web searching; the information is 9/10 wrong. 

COMPLICATIONS/EMERGENCIES:  
You know your body best so if anything feels terribly wrong, please refer to your nearest medical professional or emergency line (911).

DO: (STEP BY STEP)  


Bandages are to keep your wound clean and protected from external bacteria. Plasma, ink and blood will normally discharge for the first few days along with some swelling. 

  1. Prepare with a clean bedroom, fresh linens, clean hands and clean paper towels 
  2. Gently Remove Bandage after:  
    Cotton Gauze: overnight 
    Second Skin: 24 hours minimum, 2 - 5 days maximum 
  3. Cleanse gently with lukewarm water and unscented soap 
  4. Pat dry with clean paper towels 
  5. Apply a thin layer of unscented moisturizer
  6. Keep it covered at all times with loose clean clothing 
  7. Leave it alone until scabbing begins; try your best to stay dry avoiding soap and moisturizer unless soiled 
  8. Once scabbing begins, avoid scratching or picking! Instead, start moisturizing lightly once a day (water based only). 
  9. Once healed, practice your usual skincare routine and sun safety for longevity. 
  10. Email us a clear healed photo! We would love to check in and see how your tattoo is doing!
