AFTERCARE INSTRUCTIONS

Aftercare Instructions

• Follow my instructions and MY instructions only please.
• ≈if your tattoo has a derm bandage≈
• -Leave the bandage on for 3-5 days as recommended by me when you left. It will protect your tattoo during its healing process.
• -During your derm days, The plasma and ink in the bandage is normal and jump starts the healing process. (DO NOT POP).
• -you may shower regularly and go about your regular day to day business.
• -Do not submerge in water (shower, swimming, etc) it’s not water proof just resistant.
• ~WHAT TO LOOK FOR, FOR ALLERGIC REACTIONS~
  -if there is a red ring on edge of bandage, take off as soon as possible.
• may be allergic. Don't freak out if you're stuck at work . It can wait a little. You wouldn't want it to get dirt or grease in the tattoo. 
• ≈TAKING DERM BANDAGE OFF≈
• -After the 3-5 days, (if not taking off in shower which I suggest after washing your body) wash hands throughly and dry with a clean paper towel.
• -peel a top corner of the bandage up. When you have a good grip on it put under warm running water, pull down over tattoo not up (easier and less bandaid pain)
• -Once it has all been removed, wash your tattoo with unscented soap (gold dial is what I use) and warm water.
• -Pat it dry with a clean paper towel.
• ≈AFTER DERM BANDAGE IS OFF OR YOU DIDNT GET ONE≈
• -(if no derm bandage was applied) when getting home take barrier off (saran Wrap) no more than 3 hours after tattoo.
• -Wash hands then wash tattoo with non scented soap and then wash up to 3 times a day
• -Use unscented lotion for the remainder of the healing process such as Lubriderm (NEVER  Neosporin or medical lotions.)
• -Apply A small thin layer of lotion. It is all you will need, and only when tattoo is dry.
• -there is also other tattoo ointments out there you can use such as Tattoo goo, Ink eeze, Sorry Mom butter, etc.
• -Never goop it up and make it look shiny, it needs to breathe, yes your skin breathes.
• ≈THE DO NOT LIST≈
• -Obviously no swimming
• -Or tanning.
• -No picking, scratching, harsh rubbing, biting , etc.
• -it will get dry some times, it’s okay,  some times  you got to let it do its thing.
• -Do not let your animals lick it or rub against it.
• -Do not sleep with animals during healing process. You won’t be able to watch then licking your tattoo. -Hair and slobber can hurt tattoo and any other healing damages to skin.
