Aftercare

How do I care for my new tattoo?

1. Remove bandage after 1–4 hours and gently wash with unscented liquid anti-bacterial soap and warm water.

2. Pat dry and apply a thin layer of tattoo ointment. Repeat 2–3 times a day for the next 2–3 days.

3. After 2–3 days, switch to an unscented lotion and apply 3–4 times a day until tattoo is healed.

4. Do NOT submerge your tattoo under water (ex: pools, ocean, baths, hot tubs, etc.), as well as avoid direct sunlight (no tanning) for the next 2–3 weeks. Do NOT pick, scratch, or peel your tattoo.

How do I care for my new piercing?

1. Wash your hands thoroughly prior to cleaning or touching your piercing for any reason.

2. Spray with sterile saline wound wash while healing. Moving or rotating jewelry is not necessary during cleaning/rinsing and may actually irritate the piercing.

3. Dry with clean, disposable products like gauze or cotton swabs, gently removing any crusty debris or build up. Cloth towels should be avoided as they can harbor bacteria and snag on jewelry.
