Remove bandage 2-5 hours after your tattoo is finished. Wash the tattoo with antibacterial soap and warm water... It will sting a little.  Let the tattoo air-dry for about 5-10 minutes and then apply a light coat of fragrance free lotion ( unscented lotion).  Do not over-lotion..........use the lotion like lotion!!!! 

 Wash tattoo off 2-3 times a day with antibacterial Dial soap only. Wash hands first to remove dirt, then wash your tattoo off with lathered Dial antibacterial soap. Rinse tattoo thoroughly with water and air dry or pat dry (do not rub) with a clean towel or cloth. 

Tattoo should feel tight and moreless dry before applying lotion. Apply only Curel or Lubriderm non-scented lotion to the tattoo 3-4 times a day for the next 2 weeks until fully healed.  Do not use Vaseline, Neosporin, or A&D ointment!!!! Do not over-lotion..........use the lotion like lotion!!!! 

 Never, ever ever pick at scabs!!!!  And also do not bring scabs into the shop to show us. Wear loose clothing until healed. Do not soak in water, swimming pools, hot tubs, or the sun!!!

If you are in the sun, always put a SPF 30 or SPF 50 sunblock over the tattoo to keep colors bright and to prolong the life of your tattoo. BUT! Do not use sunscreen at all during the healing provess, simply cover it up if you will be outside for long durations.

How you take care of your new tattoo will determine the final look of it. Good tattoos aren't cheap. Cheap tattoos aren't good. Take care of your investment.
