Tattoo Aftercare Instructions
Leave bandage on a maximum of 1-2 hours to prevent air borne bacteria from
invading the tattoo. Remember a tattoo is basically an open wound and must be
protected.
When the bandage is removed the tattoo should be cleaned using anti-bacterial soap
and lukewarm water. Gently wash away any ointment and thoroughly clean the area.
Do not use a washcloth or anything abrasive. It is best to use just your hand. Then
pat (do not rub) the area firmly with a clean cloth or paper towel to get it
completely dry. Follow with a light application of ointment. A&D medical grade
ointment (not the type used for diaper rash) would be the first choice in ointments
or white petroleum. **Do not use Neosporin. After working ointment into tattoo blot
with a dry paper towel to remove excess ointment. Continue this procedure at least
twice a day for two or three days.        
After that continue to keep the area clean, but you can use lotion when needed
instead of ointment, to keep the skin soft.
After a few days, you will notice some peeling and possibly a little scabbing. It may
also start to itch, but do not scratch or pick at it. If you must, slap it for relief
from itching. If it is peeling, put lotion on it. If it is scabbing leave it alone.
After your tattoo is healed, from now on, you will want to protect it from the
sun's ultraviolet rays. These can fade and damage a brilliant tattoo very fast.
Before you expose it to a lot of sun, protect it with at least a 39SPF sun block.

In case of any gaps in lines or other touch-up that is required, please wait two
weeks before coming back in, Touch-ups after 1 year  will incur additional charges.
Tattoo work done by the hour will be charged by the hour for any touch ups.
