IMPORTANT INFO YOU NEED TO KNOW FOR YOUR NEW TATTOO!

--HOW YOU CARE FOR YOUR TATTOO WILL DIRECTLY EFFECT THE WAY IT LOOKS ONCE IT IS COMPLETELY HEALED. PLEASE STRICTLY FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS GIVEN BY YOUR ARTIST AND YOUR ARTIST ONLY.
--If your artist puts a bandage on your tattoo, leave it on for about an hour, then wash it gently with mild soap (Dial Antibacterial "unscented") and warm water. Do this a few times daily, when showering be sure to wash your tattoo last so that any other products are washed off.
--Sparingly apply "fragrance free" Lubriderm Lotion, or your ARTISTS suggested aftercare solution. Massage it into skin keeping tattoo moist. Be careful not to over moisturize! Your tattoo should not look shiny or goopy.
--Let the tattoo air out. Do not re-bandage.
--Scabbing & peeling are normal. Let them fall off on their own, DO NOT PICK AT OR SCRUB YOUR TATTOO! Doing so will cause "fall out" or light blotchy spots where the scabs were.
--AVOID direct sunlight (which includes tanning beds!), swimming, and soaking during healing times to prevent possible color loss.
--If you have any questions regarding your tattoo, feel free to contact our shop
--DO NOT TAKE "AFTERCARE" ADVICE FROM YOUR NEIGHBORS, FAMILY, FRIENDS OR ANYONE OTHER THAN YOUR ARTIST.
