Tattoo History | Tattoo Aftercare

 

1. Icepack your tattoo for 10 minutes. NEVER put your icepack on any surface then back on your tattoo. Throw in bin when finished.
2. Do not cover your tattoo with tissue or plastic. Allow it to dry naturally. Tissue will stick and plastic makes it sweat.
3. After 1 hour gently wash tattoo with warm water. This will remove any dried blood. Wash in the shower daily with warm water only, and then pat dry.
4. Avoid spa and swimming pools, baths and the ocean while your tattoo is healing (generally 7 - 10 days). Keep it covered when in the sun.
5. After 4 days apply a small amount of Vaseling intensive Care (yellow bottle) once a day for 7 - 10 days.
6. As your tattoo heals it will peel like sunburn. Do not pick, scratch or rub during this time as it will damage the tattoo.
7. Even when healed you will need to keep the tattoo covered or sunblocked when out in the sun.
