    • Let your tattoo air out naturally with the bandage provided. Avoid washing or moisturizing your tattoo during this time. A quick, gentle rinse in the shower is okay.

    • If any irritation occurs, a cold compress using a wrapped ice pack can provide relief

  • Remove the bandage and wash your tattoo

    • with room-temperature water and gentle, fragrance-free soap (Dial Gold is recommended)

    • Use clean hands and avoid abrasive materials.

    • Gently pat the area dry

    • Apply a thin layer of a simple, scent-free moisturizer (Lubriderm lotion is recommended).

    Follow this washing routine 1-2 times a day, and moisturize small amounts throughout the day

    ​

    • Your tattoo will start to peel or flake around this time and continue for the next week. This is a normal part of the healing process

    • Don't pick, pull, scratch, or itch your tattoo during this period

    ​

    • The peeling should have stopped by now, and you'll see a clearer picture of the final tattoo

    • Over the next few weeks, your tattoo will keep improving as the final healing takes place. In about 6-8 weeks you will have a fully healed tattoo

    • Keep moisturizing your tattoo and research daily skincare routines to prolong the life of your tattoo work
