WE RECOMMEND H2OCEAN TO USE AS YOUR AFTERCARE
What To Do:
Keep your tattoo covered for the first 4-6 hrs. (Wash 2-3 times a day.) Wash your hands thoroughly prior to touching your new ink. Using mild soap and warm water, wash your tattoo in a circular motion washing away the plasma and any left over A&D or ink. Make sure to rinse your tattoo with fresh warm water, leaving no soap residue behind. Pat dry your tattoo. For the first few days you will want to use Neosporin Cream with Pain Reliver. Not Ointment! Use it 3-4 times a day depending on the size and extent of work you have received. It is also Strongly suggested to NOT have your clothing resting or rubbing on your new artwork-It will stick to your clothes and create a scabb. We have tattoo bandages available at the shop. We recommend for the first couple of nights that prior to sleeping that you re-wrap your tattoo so you don't stick to your sheets! (ouch)
Syran Wrap works fine, again depending on the extent of your work you might have to cover it for the next two nights just prior to sleeping. FYI in the morning your tattoo will have a slimy substance coating over it, which is part of your body's natural healing process. You will want to wash this off thoroughly. After the first two days of using Neosporin Cream your tattoo feels like it has a thin coating over it we highly recommend switching over to H2Ocean Lotion to help with the remaining healing process. We recommend using the H2Ocean at least 3-5 times a day. Remember-good hygiene is a big part in assisting you with the healing of your new tattoo. At this point your tattoo will start to peel and flake off like a sunburn does.
What To Avoid:
Direct sunlight,Dirty Hands, Tight clothes,Hot Tubs, Pools, Beach, Soaking,Tanning Beds,Oils,Lotions and Sand for the first few weeks.
DO NOT PICK OR SCRATCH AT YOUR TATTOO!!
What To Expect:
There will be a re-adjustment period for your skin to return back to normal. Please be patient. Your tattoo will start to look darker then it did when you first had it done, slowly your skin will start to flake off in the same way as a sunburn dose, again do not pick,scratch or help peel off the flakes of skin. FYI if it's ITCHY Smack it Lightly! that is... Once flakes have all fallen off your new tattoo will have a slight shiny look to it. Remember this is just an adjustment period and your tattoo is continuing to heal, so keep using the h2Ocean. Once your tattoo is healed please come back to visit us to
make sure there are no touch-ups needed.
Enjoy your New INK!!
If you need a touch up, please come back within 30days.
