Remember: Your tattoo is an open wound, so be sure to take care of it!

Leave your bandage on the tattoo until you are able to wash it with antibacterial soap — be sure to wash your hands before you touch your new tattoo. Pat the tattoo dry with clean towel or let it air dry for 20 minutes. Repeat this routine 2 times a day until healed.

After 3 days your tattoo will begin to dry out. At this time apply a small amount of non-fragranced lotion (Eucerin Original is our recommendation) after every cleaning routine. Be sure to apply lotion until it is completely absorbed.

Remember to use common sense! You should always consult a health care practitioner at the first sign of infection or an allergic reaction. Please report any diagnosed infection to your artist and the Texas Department of Health, Drugs and Medical Devices Division: 1-888-839-6676.
