You were tattooed in a modern studio using only single-use and or sterilized instruments. Complying
with the following instructions will result in a quick healing process and an attractive tattoo.
ALWAYS be sure to thoroughly wash your hands with antibacterial soap before touching your new
tattoo.
Remove the bandage TWO HOURS after leaving studio. If bandage sticks to skin, wet the area with
warm water and slowly pull the bandage off.
WASH the tattoo thoroughly with antibacterial soap and warm water. Be sure to rinse any secretions
and all soap residue off of tattoo.
LIGHTLY pat drywith clean towel, apply a small amount of A&D Ointment or “Tattoo Goo”.
DO NOT apply a thick coat as your skin must be able to breathe.
Wash & apply ointment three times daily for one week.
After one week your tattoo will develop a layer of dry skin DO NOT PICK this off.
After the dry skin has fallen off, there will be a period of adjustment for the new skin. At this point you
should begin use of a fragrance free hand lotion. (Lubriderm or Dermassage)
Depending on the nature and extent of your tattoo, it may be necessary to wear clothing to protect it,
particularly if you work around grease, oil, dirt, metal, etc. Be sure that any clothing that touches your
tattoo is soft, clean and breathable.(NO spandex, polyester, etc.)
DO NOT let the tattoo dry out
DO NOT reapply bandage, as the tattoo needs to breathe to heal
DO NOT use Vaseline, petroleum jelly, alcohol or peroxide
DO NOT rub, scratch or pick at tattoo
DO NOT expose new tattoo to direct sunlight for 2-3 weeks. After that, we recommend you using
sun block (SPF 35 or above) to help keep tattoo from fading.
DO NOT submerge tattoo in water for 2-3 weeks. Showering is Ok (Please do!) butNO baths,
saunas, or oceans.
The healing process usually takes between two to three weeks, but can vary from person to person.
