Tattoo Aftercare Tips :
1. Do not re-bandage your tattoo.
2. Always wash your hands before touching your tattoo. Don't use wash cloth or anything abrasive on the tattoo.
3. Do not pick or scratch your tattoo.
4. Wash your tattoo twice a day with antibacterial soap and warm water every day until your tattoo is healed.
5. Avoid hot tubs, public pools, ocean and soaking during the healing process.
6. Avoid direct sunlight, tanning beds, tanning oils, lotions and sand for a few weeks.
7. Avoid tight fitting clothes which might irritate a new tattoo.
Tattoo Aftercare Directions:
After removing the bandage you will need to wash your new tattoo thoroughly to remove any ointments or petroleum based
products from the area. Apply a generous amount of ointment such as bacitracin, vitamin a & d, or neosporen to the tattoo 3-5
times a day and gently wipe and dab off ALL excess ointment. The key here is VERY thin layers. Do this for about one week and
then swith to an unscented dye-free lotion such as Lubiderm or Curel lotion, thin layers 3-5 times a day for three more weeks.
ALWAYS SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTON AT ANY SIGN OF AN INFECTION
Piercing Aftercare Directions:
EYEBROW, NOSTRIL, EARS, NIPPLE, & NAVAL: Wash your hands thouroughly before handling jewelry. Wash your piercing
twice a day with an antibacterial soap and warm water. Rinse your piercing twice a day with sea salt by dissolving about a tsp of
salt in a small dixie cup of warm water and applying with a Q-tip. Remove any encrustations and secretions by washing and rinsing.
Proceed to rotate the jewelry and clean both ends. Rinse all soap clean! Average healing time for these piercings is 4-6 weeks but
can take up to 4-6 months.
LIPS, LABRETS, AND CHEEKS: Follow care instructions as above for the exterior of your piercing. Use an alcohol free
mouthwash (or a 50/50 mixture of listerine and water) to rinse your mouth in the morning, bedtime, and anytime after eating and
smoking. No kissing or oral sex for 4-6 weeks or longer until the piercing is healed.
DO NOT change your piercing for at least 4-6 weeks.
