AFTERCARE

Caring for your new tattoo is a big deal mainly because you don't want to get infected and all nasty. This page is to help you out. Below are some simple instructions. #1 ALWAYS keep your new tattoo clean. Bacteria is EVERYWHERE. #2 When you leave the tattoo shop remember the bandage must stay on for a minimum of 2 hours but no more than 24 hours. If you decide to sleep with your bandage on ( because you didnt get it finished until the evening ) and you like to shower in the morning anyway leave the bandage on,YES even in the shower, that way it will be easier for the bandage to come off and won't stick to the tattoo. You dont want to pull any color out. #3 Anyways, after your all clean and no longer stinky, apply a thin layer of A & D ointment to your tattoo. Don't GLOB it on. NOW apply A&D to your tattoo at least twice daily, remember to wash your tattoo before you apply ointments! Use A&D for 2 days #4 After using A&D for the first 2 days your going to switch to LUBRIDERM HAND LOTION. Again apply it to your tattoo whenever it feels tight and dry. You will use this product for about 5-7 days. AGAIN WASH between applications. ***IMPORTANT STUFF TO REMEMBER*** Keep your tattoo out of the sun Don't go swimming or to a sauna ( this includes the river and beach) DON'T pick at it, its going to itch thats a FACT just pat it. Once your tattoo is all healed remember if it is in an area which will be in the sun alot apply sunblock!
