AFTERCARE INSTRUCTIONS

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.
