Aftercare

Tattoo Aftercare

1. Leave bandage on for around an hour.

2. Next, wash with antibacterial soap and warm water. Do not re-bandage.

3. Pat dry and wait 10 to 15 minutes before you apply the ointment.

4. Apply the ointment as you would a hand lotion; rub it in. Do not leave any extra on the surface of your skin.

5. Repeat steps 2-4 a couple times per day. Do not apply ointment with out washing it first. Switch to hand lotion after 7 days.

6. It is an option to cover your tattoo with plastic wrap while you sleep for the first 3 days.

7. Your new tattoo will flake and peel in the final stages of healing. This is normal. Do not pick it. Do not swim and do not tan for 2 weeks.

Piercing Aftercare

1. Do not touch your piercing

2. Wash with antibacterial soap 3-4 times per day for 2 weeks.

3. Do not use rubbing alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, sea salt or any other chemicals.  Use soap only!

Oral Piercing Aftercare

1. Rinse with antiseptic mouthwash 3-4 times per day.

2.  Do not quit using your tongue.  Stay in your normal routine.  It is important to eat and talk normal.
