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.
