♡ After your tattoo appointment carefully remove the saran wrap once you're home.
(Don't rewrap your tattoo in saran wrap)
♡ To insure your tattoo heals good don't pick at your tattoo or peel off the scabs on your tattoo. It's going to peel, scab, & itch but it's all worth it!
♡ Be gentle with your tattoo when washing, don't scrub, and use warm water when cleaning your open wound.
♡ When washing use an antibacterial NON SCENTED soap! Avoid using scents because it may cause irritation to the tattoo and affect the healing process! Avoid bar soaps as well as they can cause infections due to the left over bacteria on the soap bar. (Liquid Dial GOLD NO ALOE ADDED is a great and very affordable option) Clean your wound two or three times a day.
♡ After 2-3 days once the skin starts to peel apply an UNSCENTED lotion 1-2 times a day (cetaphil and lubiderm are great options) AVOID OVER MOISTURIZING your tattoo as it can cause infections, trap bacteria's and suffocate the tattoo. Apply moisturizer as needed until fully healed. After it's fully healed switch to sunscreen when outdoors to prevent fading of the tattoo.
♡ EXTRA INFO: No bathing or swimming, short showers, no fragrance including perfume near or on the tattooed area, wear loose clothing so the tattoo can breathe!
