After Care Instructions

The bandage must stay on a minimum of 6 hours.  Continuation overnight is encouraged.

With CLEAN HANDS carefully:
  • Remove Bandage
  • Wash Thoroughly with warm water and MILD SOAP (fingertips only, no washcloths)
  • Dry tattoo by pressing gently with a CLEAN TOWEL
  • Triple Antibiotic Ointment may be applied in a VERY THIN LAYER but only allowed to penetrate for 15 minutes.  After that, pat ointment dry.
  • Various ointments can be used to help heal the tattoo.  AQUAPHOR is an excellent product and can be used sparingly for the first two weeks.  Do not mix aftercare products.

Wash tattoo 3-4 times every day.
