AFTERCARE
After your session is complete you will be wrapped with vaseline and plastic wrap. Take the wrap off when you get home and take a hot shower, cleaning the area with unscented soap. Let it air dry that night. The next day you will start using either Aquaphor or A&D ointment (You can purchase this at your local Rite Aid, Walgreens, Dollar Store - usually in the baby aisle). You will apply a very thin layer once a day for a week. Shower once in the morning, apply your ointment, and then shower again at night for the first week. After the week is up you can use regular unscented lotion to help with the dryness. Please do not pick at the tattoo, and avoid the sun and submerging into water (hot tubs, baths, pools, oceans, etc) for 3 weeks. Do not work out for 48 hours, and do not wear rough clothing/ shoes that rub against the tattoo.
The speed of healing is influenced by the size and style of the tattoo, (color can scab up more than black & grey, and the bigger the tattoo the longer it may take.) Your overall health is also influential, as your body is healing an open wound. Typically, your tattoo should be fully healed within the month.
I offer one free* touch up for all of my tattoos. Touch up must be scheduled within 30-60 days of the date I tattooed you. If you feel that you need a touch up please contact me directly with a photo of the healed tattoo ([email protected]) and we will get you scheduled!
*Touch ups exclude clients who did not follow proper aftercare instructions (ie. sun exposure, submerging in the ocean, etc.)
