Aftercare

If you have more than one tattoo, you have been told more than one way to heal your tattoo.

The truth is, there is no standardized education regarding tattoo care.

Fear not, for in truth there are only Three Basic Principles that cover essentials of aftercare.

Each of these principles has nuance within them. So just give them a click to find out more about aftercare.

Now if you can use Saniderm, Derm Shield, Second Skin or other long term bandages, there is a whole world of difference.

So simple. Wash it, with soap, your hand and running water. Temperature does not matter beyond what you find comfortable. Rinse completely.

Once clean, dry the area with a clean paper towel or towel. Don’t rub vigorously, patting is kinder. Allow it to airdry for a few minutes.

Not as tricky as it sounds - an ointment is ideal for the first few days. It should be applied very thin, barely more than a lotion.
