Tattoo Aftercare

---

Leave the bandage on the tattoo for 2h-10h.

Tattoos will ooze, this is a normal part of the healing process. The bandage will keep airborne bacteria and any other contaminants invading your wound

Make sure your hands have been washed thoroughly before you move the bandage. 

After removing the bandage, cleanse the tattooed area with antibacterials soap and water. Do not scrub the tattoo with a brush or towel (this should not be done until the tattoo has healed). The idea behind the washing is to eliminate any dead cells that have been allowed to accumulate on the surface.

Dry the tattooed area by gently patting the area with a clean, sterile towel.

Let the tattoo dry completely

Apply a thin layer of ointment to help heal fast. (You can get it at any pharmacy) Highly recommend using a product that is not petroleum based like Mad Rabbits Soothing gel.

AFTER A FEW DAYS YOU MAY NOTICE SOME PEELING AND POSSIBLY A LITTLE SCABBING. IT IS AT THIS POINT IN THE HEALING PROCESS THAT OUR TATTOO WILL BEGIN TO ITCH. RESIST THE URGE TO SATISFY YOUR DESIRE TO SCRATCH, RUB, OR PICK AT THE TATTOO.
