Tattoo Aftercare

---

...remove bandaging  and wash your new tattoo, with the hottest water you can stand and antibacterial soap. Pat dry with a clean paper towel and evenly apply a light layer (don't let it pool on the skin) of non scented, non-medicated hand lotion (Lubriderm, Cetaphil, etc.).  Repeat previous steps before bed and avoid tight fitting apparel.

Continue washing with hot water and antibacterial soap followed by a light layer of non scented non-medicated lotion, two to three times a day, until the tattoo is completely healed. Do not soak or submerge  your new tattoo (NO pools, hot tubs, bath tubs, dirty dish water, etc.), pick, scratch, or tan your new tattoo. 

By this point, you should be able to resume your normal routines. Be mindful of your new tattoo and use sun protection while enjoying outside activities.
