AFTERCARE TDLR: TWO WEEK GUIDELINE

Instructions are always given in person post session and emailed for reference. Gentle reminder that not the healing process and timeline may not be the same for everyone. This is only a general two-week guideline.

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

DO: (STEP BY STEP)

Prepare a clean bedroom with fresh linens,
Wash your hands and set aside clean paper towels.
At the end of shower, gently remove bandage:
Gauze: Overnight
Second Skin: 24 to 72 Hours
Cleanse wound gently with lukewarm water and unscented soap; remove plasma, ink and blood.
Pat dry with clean paper towels and apply a thin layer of unscented moisturizer to wound.
Keep covered with loose clothing until fully healed.
Leave it alone, try your best to stay dry and avoid any soap/washing until second week or when scabbing begins.
Once scabbing begins, avoid scratching or picking! Instead, start moisturizing(water based only) lightly once or twice a day.
Once healed, practice a healthy skincare routine and sun safety.
Email us a clear healed photo! We would love to see and make sure everything is A-OK!

DO NOT:

Re-bandage
Allow yourself and others to touch tattoo
Over-moisturize or use medical ointments, oil based moisturizers, fragranced products or sunscreen
Soak tattoo in any water; baths, oceans, swimming, spas, saunas, etc
Participate in high-risk sports/physical activities
Clean or dry with personal or fabric towels until fully healed
Pick, peel or scratch tattoo at anytime
Expose to direct sunlight
In direct contact with pet/pet dander
