AFTERCARE

Your tattoo CAN NOT be exposed to the sun or artificial tanning for a minimum of 30 days. Sunblock simply is not effective enough during the first 30 days to protect it from damage. After the 30 days, please apply sunblock anytime that your tattoo will be exposed to the sun. This is the #1 reason for tattoo fading or infection. DO NOT expose your tattoo to submersion in bodies of water like pools, saunas, beach, and baths for a minimum of 2 weeks.

It is normal to see liquid, ink, and blood collect under your patch. DO NOT try to drain it or disturb it, this is entirely normal. 

During healing, your tattoo will undergo changes while the skin is re-growing. Do not be concerned with anything that seems like an imperfection, light areas, or ink missing.  We assure you that we fully saturated your tattoo during your session, and these are normal occurrences associated with the healing process. During this time your tattoo might look fuzzy, light, and some areas having a milky look to the ink and skin surface. This is entirely normal.

It will take approximately 30 days for your tattoo to be fully healed, and even longer on some individuals who heal slower. If there is any scabbing or peeling from the healing process, DO NOT peel any of it yourself, allow it to only fall off on its own. The skin or scabs that fall off will have ink in them, this is normal.

 
 

The Medical Patch Method

  • We have developed and tested these instructions extensively. Please adhere to them so that your tattoo can heal at it’s best. Any variance of these instructions will serve to hurt your healing and will void any touch up service that we would otherwise provide.

    1. The adhesive patch that we have provided is a high quality medical grade patch that will provide considerable benefits to healing and safety.

    2. Please DO NOT remove this patch for 48 hrs. Limit your exercise and physical activity to a low level, sweating under the patch will dramatically affect its adhesion and safety. If you experience a sensitivity to the patch, please remove it right away instead of waiting the 48 hours. Proceed to the next step.

    3. After 48 hrs, remove the patch by pulling it very slowly from the corners towards the center. It’s best to do so in the shower while allowing warm/ semi hot water to help loosen the patch. It is an open wound, keep it clean and safe.

    4. Wash your tattoo thoroughly using ONLY your hands and liquid soap. Do not use your loofa. Pat dry with a clean paper towel ONLY. Do not rub excessively. Do not use your bath towel, it harbors bacteria. Do not apply any other bandages or wrappings.

    5. Apply a very thin layer of our all organic aftercare provided with your tattoo. Do not use other aftercare products. Use a very light amount to produce a thin shine, too much will clog pores. Continue to use the aftercare 2 to 3 times a day for 7 days. If your tattoo is dry to the touch, apply again. During the 2nd week continue to use 1 to 2 times a day. During the 3rd week, switch over to a non scented high quality skin lotion and apply 3 times a day.

The Wrap Method

Follow these instructions if your tattoo has been wrapped or covered with plastic wrap

(Under certain conditions and in rare cases, or due to customer sensitivity, some tattoos are wrapped with our BPA free plastic wrap rather than the medical film)

  • Please leave the plastic wrap on your tattoo in place for 8 to 10 hours. It is normal to see blood and plasma collect under the wrap as well as some ink that your body pushes out. It is an open wound, keep it clean and safe.

  • Wash your tattoo thoroughly using ONLY your hands and liquid soap. Do not use your loofa. Pat dry with a clean paper towel ONLY. Do not rub excessively. Do not use your bath towel, it harbors bacteria. Do not apply any other bandages or wrappings.

  • Apply a very thin layer of our all organic aftercare provided with your tattoo. Do not use other aftercare products. Use a very light amount to produce a thin shine, too much will clog pores. Continue to use the aftercare 2 to 3 times a day for 7 days. If your tattoo is dry to the touch, apply again. During the 2nd week continue to use 1 to 2 times a day. During the 3rd week, switch over to a non scented high quality skin lotion and apply 3 times a day.
