The First Day
BEFORE YOUR TATTOO
Avoid partying (heavy drinking of alcohol or drug use) at least 48 hours prior to your tattoo appointment, as well as sun tanning and tanning beds,
If you decide to use numbing cream, please use as instructed on the bottle.
It is very important that you eat before your appointment. Never get tattooed on an empty stomach.
once tattoo if finish leave covering on tattoo for about 4 hours.
Healing Process
Do NOT peel, pick or itch your tattoo.
I know it itches but trust me you don't want to waste all that time, work, money and pain!
doing so will remove the ink from under the skin and will not heal properly.
Apply a thin layer of antibacterial/Vaseline ointment twice a day and do not cover.
. Gently wash area twice a day with antibacterial soap and water. Gently pat dry before reapplying aftercare ointment.
do this for 2-4 weeks.
Avoid swimming and direct sunlight as this could fade tattoo.
Recommended: use a sunscreen with spf 30-50 on your tattoo to prevent fading from the sun
