Healing Time:
Approximately 2 to 4 weeks.
Then carefully remove bandage and wash entire area with mild soap and cool water. Dry the area, and re-apply a mild skin lotion. Use only a very thin coating and continue to re-apply it two-four (2-4) times daily for at least three (3) days. Do not rebandage the tattoo, as it could stick to the bandage and damage can occur.
Instructions
Keep your new tattoo bandaged for approximately 3-5 days (if you notice any irritation from the bandage, remove it immediately).
Then carefully remove bandage and wash entire area with mild soap and cool water. Dry the area, and re-apply a mild skin lotion.

Avoid
Sunburn, salt or chlorine water, or hot tubs until your tattoo is completely healed. In the event mild scabbing occurs, do not pick at or attempt to “wash off” the scab. Allow it to do so by itself. You may apply a mild skin lotion to keep “flaking” to a minimum.
If you have any questions or concerns,
Contact us via email or phone. In addition, you should seek medical attention if the tattoo site becomes infected or painful, or if you develop a fever shortly after being tattooed.
