Tattoo Aftercare
Your tattoo has been done under clean and proffesional conditions, using the utmost sterilization techniques and the finest tattooing pigment availabe.
Now it is up too you to take proper care of it.
The chance of infection or damage to your tattoo is minimal if aftercare instructions are followed in the correct way.
Leave the bandage on for 2-6 hours (no more tan 10 hours) the bandage is there to protect your tattoo from any air-bourne or containment's that are in the environment from infecting your wound.
Before touching or cleaning your tattoo ensure that you wash your hands throughly with warm water and soap.
Treat your new tattoo as an open wound, carefully remove the bandage, it sticks gently wet any applied bandage and gently pull off as not to damage any scabs or dried matter.
Do not force its removal!
After removing the bandage, cleanse the area with mild soap and water then rinse, do not scrub the tattoo or rub with face cloth or towel. Pat dry with a clean towel.
Let the tattoo dry completely (approx 10 mins).
Lightly apply a thin layer of acceptable aftercare products, your tattooist will reccomend what he knows is best to use.
You do not need to rebandage.
For 3-5 days, make sure that the tattoo is kept very clean and apply ointment 3-4 times day by cleansing any old ointment and apply a thin fresh layer of ointment.
Do not allow your tattoo to become dry. If scab does form. do not pick at it, but allow for it to heal on it's own.
Don't panic if you have a reaction to the aftercare product, you may be sensitive to one of the ingredients. Although not a major problem it does happen.
The skin can react in a few ways from redness to irritable itch skin to white pimple like spots.
If this occours stop using your aftercare product, lightly wash off the remaining product from your skin. A reaction to a product should settle down within 24-72 hours. If you are still experiencing problems after 14 days, it would be doubtfull that the aftercare product was to blame and it may be that you have had a reaction to the ink (should this occour contact the studio for advise from the artist. It may also mean a vist to your doctor if he problem persists).
After 3-5 days, switch to a fragrane free lotion or gentle moisturizer as needed until completely healed. It is best to us a moisturizer with aloe or vitamin E as this will help heal damaged skin.
Reguraly moisturizing a tattoo helps to keep the skin soft and the colours bright. Also the sun can irreversibly damage even a well healed tattoo so remember to use sun block with strong spf when spending time outdoors.
