- Remove bandage in 24 hours unless told otherwise
- Wash tattoo well with a mild soap (preferably a glycerin soap) and water using a washcloth
- Pat tattoo dry with a clean, dry towel
- Let tattoo air dry completely (up to 24 hours)
- Apply a healing balm very sparingly 3–4 times a day
- Do not get tattoo wet for 1–1.5 weeks or until tattoo has completely peeled
- You can expect your tattoo will peel much like a sunburn. The flaking skin will be the color of the tattoo. This is normal
- No picking or scratching
- Do not stretch or over-exert the skin
- Avoid wearing clothing that will rub or irritate your new tattoo
- To reduce swelling or itching an ice pack works great (to avoid frost bite remember to cover the ice pack with a thin towel so it is not in direct contact with your skin)
- If you have any questions, concerns or doubts please call us at 604-488-0284
