aftercare.
Thank you so much for getting a piece with me!
CLING WRAP
-
If after the session, I wrapped your tattoo in saran wrap, please take off the plastic within 30 minutes. No more than an hour.
-
Wash your tattoo with warm water & anti-bacterial, non-scented soap. Pat to dry with a paper towel.
-
Let the tattoo breathe and do not re-wrap!
-
Start applying lotion tomorrow.
SECOND SKIN
-
If we used second skin (also called sandiderm, tegaderm, derm shield, etc.), you can keep the bandage on for up to 1-3 days!
-
Technically, you can keep the wrap on for up to a week.
-
If any water gets in, please remove the wrap.
-
To remove, please do so under running water. Start from one corner and stretch the plastic well so that it doesn't pull the skin.
-
Continue care for two weeks.
taking care.
To take care of the tattoo, we recommend non-scented lotion such as Lubriderm, Aveeno, Cetaphil, etc.
Apply just enough lotion to cover the tattoo.
Too much ointments or lotions can cause over-moisturizing.
A tattoo is essentially a wound, and should be cared as such.
Your body will do the work to heal itself.
Tattoos can take up to two weeks to a month to properly heal.
-
Going into oceans, pools, hot tubs, saunas, etc. is not recommended for at least two weeks.

Please keep it away from any pet hair.

Your tattoo will inevitably become itchy as the skin repairs itself. Please try not to scratch it!
-
Flaking and scabbing can occur as part of the process. Please try not to pick at any as it can take out ink.
-
Use clean hands when washing and applying lotion.
-
Avoid wearing tight clothing on the area.
-
Avoid direct sunlight onto the tattoo as it heals.
Touch-Ups.
One touch-up session is free of charge for
up to one year after the tattoo.
After one year, there will be a charge of $100.
If you are unsure if tattoo needs a touch-up, feel free to message me on Instagram (@hxllcat) or email (hxllcatink@gmail.com).
Once again, thank you for getting a tattoo with me!
Hopefully we get to work with each other again in the future!
