MAKE SURE TO ONLY TOUCH YOUR NEW TATTOO WITH FRESHLY WASHED HANDS

Your new tattoo will take about 10-14 days to heal.

Wash your tattoo 3 times a day (morning, afternoon, & night) for the first 3 days with warm water and gentle soap such as Dial Gold Antibacterial soap. After the first 3 days, Wash it once a day in the shower with your choice of gentle soap. (if your tattoo gets dirty at any point in between wash if needed!)

Pat dry with a clean paper towel each time you clean your tattoo. DO NOT USE A BATHROOM OR HAND TOWEL. Bathroom towels hold bacteria.

Apply a thin layer of our all Natural Shea Butter Tattoo Aftercare as needed on the tattoo, about 3 - 4 times a day. I think Shea Butter based products work best to ensure a seamless healing process. vaseline and Aquaphor make a barrier over your new tattoo to help stop germs and bacteria from getting in, but doesn’t soak into the skin and deeply moisturize as well as shea butter. You want the tattoo to stay moisturized but also allow it to breath.

DO NOT GET YOUR TATTOO WET FOR AT LEAST ONE HOUR AFTER YOUR TATTOO APPOINTMENT.

NO BEACH OR POOLS FOR 10-14 DAYS

DO NOT SOAK YOUR TATTOO. Think of it as your tattoo is water-resistant not water-proof, you can get it wet to wash it, but don’t soak it. so no baths either!

NO PICKING OR SCRATCHING AT THE TATTOO

DO NOT EXPOSE YOUR TATTOO TO THE SUN WHILE HEALING

DO NOT USE SOAPS OR PRODUCTS WITH FRAGRANCE ON YOUR TATTOO
