TATTOO
AFTERCARE.
Always wash and dry your hands before touching your new tattoo.
After 24/48 hours, remove the wrap gently and wash with warm water and mild soap.
Pat dry gently and allow to breathe for around 30 mins.
Apply a thin layer of Aquaphor / Bepanthen / Palmers Cocoa Butter
2-3 times a day.
Just keep applying the cream 2-3 times a day for the next 2 weeks.
Stay out of sunlight & tanning booths until the tattoo is completely healed;
at least 1 month.
DO NOT soak in a bath, sauna, jacuzzi or go swimming while your new tattoo is healing.
Showers are welcome.
DO NOT rub or pick the treated area while it is healing.
Loss of colour and/or infection could occur.
Extreme sun and exposure over the years can and will fade your tattoo.
This can be minimized using strong sun cream, at least SPF35.
Your tattoo should completely heal in at least 6 weeks.
Consult your tattoo artist and GO as soon as possible if any signs or symptoms develop
such as the following: Redness at site, green/yellow discharge (foul smelling), and/or fever.
