aftercare
there are a million ways you can heal your tattoo, but heres what I reccomend:
Leave second skin on for 3-4 days (if it springs a leak, remove immediately)
clean tattoo area with warm water and unscented soap
let air dry
(optional) place new second skin over the tattoo for another 3-4 days
let the tattooed area dry out for 24 hours before applying moisturizer
apply a small amount of water based moisturizer (I like lubriderm) a couple times a day
continue to wash tattooed area a couple times a day
keep out of direct sunlight while the tattoo is healing
do not soak your tattoo (showers are fine, but no baths, hot tubs, bodies of water) until the tattoo is fully healed
do not itch, slap, scratch your healing tattoo
healing your tattoo
if you have any questions regarding your healing process, please reach out and i will guide you through any troubleshooting.
your tattoo should be fully healed within 3-4 weeks and if any touch up is needed, please feel free to reach out. i do touch ups for free within the first year of the service.
it may become raised or itchy occasionally after its fully settled. this is normal and is often due to irritants like sunlight and allergens. if this does occur, more often than not, an antihistimine will relieve it.
