Tattoo Aftercare.
You've spent some time and money to get your tattoo, how well it heals has a lot to do with how YOU care for it. Below are some suggestions on proper care during the healing process.

What to do.

1. Leave bandage on for one hour, then remove. Do not re-bandage.
2. Wash tattoo with cool water and anti-bacterial, liquid soap.
3. Gently blot-dry with a soft towel or paper toweling.
4. On the fourth day, apply a small amount of hand lotion to the tattoo, once daily (you're not frosting a cake!).
5. Continue applying lotion for 1-2 weeks.
6. Take a multi-vitamin, to speed the healing process (optional).

What NOT to do.

1. Don't pick or scratch your tattoo.
2. Don't soak your tattoo for 2-3 weeks (no baths, swimming, or soaking of any kind).
3. Don't get your tattoo sun burnt. 4. Don't put anything on your tattoo other than unscented, un-dyed skin lotion (if you didn't purchase our lotion that we recommend).

Piercing Aftercare.
Piercing aftercare varies depending on whether it's a surface body piercing or an oral piercing (inside the mouth). We provide instructions and written aftercare sheets for every client receiving piercing services.
