Step 1
Leave your bandage on for a minimum of 1 hour and no longer than 4 or 5 hours. DO NOT RE-BANDAGE unless advised otherwise.
Step 2
The single best thing you can do for your new tattoo is wash it with antimicrobial soap. We recommend doing this 3x a day to clean away any old discharge, ink, etc. Once thoroughly rinsed, pat dry with a disposable paper product.
step 3
To protect and moisturize your new tattoo, we suggest applying a very light layer of Aquaphor after washing. After 3 days, switch to a non-scented lotion such as Lubriderm to aid in the healing of your skin.
