There are a lot of different approaches to healing tattoos.

Ultimately, keep it clean & moisturized.

Let your artist know if you have any questions about your tattoo.

Always notify your artist if you have any allergies

A Method of Healing that works for us:

Remove bandage with clean hands in approximately one hour. Always wash hands prior to caring for your tattoo.
Wash tattoo gently but thoroughly with unscented soap & lukewarm water. Rinse with cold water.
Air dry for 10-15 minutes or gently pat dry with paper towel. No wiping.
Apply a small amount of coconut oil, fragrance free lotion (or Wild Rose or Hustlebutter) to your tattoo until absorbed into the skin. Avoid over applying and always make sure it’s absorbed.
Tattoo may flake/peel like sunburn: DO NOT PICK OR SCRATCH TATTOO. Stay hydrated/rested.
Carefully apply coconut oil, fragrance free lotion (or Wild Rose/Hustlebutter) a few times a day or as needed for remainder of tattoo healing process.
Avoid tight fitting clothing during healing if possible.
DO NOT soak tattoo in shower, tub, ocean/pool or expose to direct sun/tanning beds for 2-3 weeks.
After tattoo has fully healed, apply a high SPF to avoid sun damage.
If swelling and redness persist, please see a physician and notify your artist.

Please keep in touch with your artist about your healing tattoo and let us know if you have any questions at all at any time.
