After Care Instructions
Each time tattooing is performed the client (and if applicable, the parent or guardian) shall receive oral and written instructions on the care of the area tattooed)
For beautiful lasting results, to prevent infection, pigment loss and/ or discoloration:
- Do not touch, scrub or pick the procedure area. If needed, you may take an over the counter pain reliever.
- Apply clean, cold pads for 15-20 minutes to reduce swelling. Only if instructed, use sterile bandage(s) or other sterile dressing(s) when necessary.
- Keep the procedure area clean- Properly cleanse the tattooed area morning and night with a mild antibacterial liquid soap, pat and air dry before applying ointment.
- Keep the procedure area dry- Avoid swimming pools, jacuzzis, saunas, etc and direct contact with water while bathing.
- Keep the procedure area protected- Sparingly apply ointment with a cotton swab over procedure area only and blot off excess with a clean tissue.
- For the first three days following procedure apply Bacitracin every one to two hours to avoid scabbing. On day four start applying Vitamin A & D ointment.
- Keep the procedure area away from heat and chemicals. Do not use facial cleansers, astringents, creams, makeup on or near the procedure area for 15 days.
- For at least two weeks, minimize exposure to the sun.
What to expect post- procedure:
- The procedure area will be will be swollen, itchy and possibly bruised for the following three days which is likely to make the design look uneven. Days two and three are the worst but by day four you should begin to see improvements.
- The color used for the procedure will appear brighter and more defined for the following seven days. As the procedure area flakes off, the color will soften by 40 to 60 percent and the area will gradually darken. True color and final results may not be seen until the healing process is complete, typically four weeks post procedure.
- A touch up is necessary following the procedure, as the color will fade over time. Following first time procedures, a touch up is critical and must be done within six to eight weeks following. If a touch up is included, it must be done within 3 months from the date of the original procedure. It is the clients responsibility to set up the appointment.
- For eye procedures, the eyes may need to be flushed with eye drops and if you resume wearing mascara, purchase a new tube to avoid bacteria.
- For lip procedures, drink fluids with a straw and cut food into small bites to eat following the procedure. Do not let food touch your lips to avoid infection and seal lips with ointment before brushing teeth. Do not use whitening toothpaste for 10 days. Do not stretch your lips.
There are no refunds on procedures or touch ups.
