During your appointment

Once I have finished your tattoo, I will send you home with a plastic wrap around your tattoo that is to be removed once you are home. Please remove this plastic wrap if you see your tattoo is damp underneath the plastic!

Once it is time to shower you may follow the directions below.

After Your Appointment

After removing the plastic wrap, you must wash the tattoo with an antibacterial unscented soap. Foam up the soap in your hands first and then gently scrub the tattoo in circles. Wash off the soapy area and pat dry the tattoo with a clean paper towel.

Apply unscented moisturizer 2 times a day, morning and night, for 4 weeks. You may also use a lightweight tattoo balm, but be sure to clean the tattoo with soap before reapplying any moisturizer. Cleaning the tattoo before reapplying moisturizer will mitigate any risk of infection.

I recommend using unscented Dial antibacterial soap for your tattoo! If you are unable to find unscented, the gold bottle will work as well!

You can use whatever works best for you, but my moisturizer recommendations are Lubriderm or a trusted tattoo balm such as Mad Rabbit or Hustle Butter.
