WHAT TO DO ✔
Always wash your hands first using antibacterial soap.
Leave the second skin on for 2-4 days. Do not re-bandage tattoo.
Remove bandage and wash the tattoo well by hand using antibacterial soap and luke-warm water.
When you are done washing the tattoo, gently pat the tattoo dry with a clean towel, and allow the tattoo to dry for 2 to 3 minutes.
Apply Tattoo Ointment or unscented Lotion to the tattoo 1 to 2 times daily. Continue applying tattoo ointment or lotion for 10 to 14 days
The top skin layer over the tattoo will begin to flake off or peel like tissue paper after about a week. Peeling and flaking is usual, but let me know if you have concerns. Continue applying Unscented Lotion when tattoo begins flaking.
Dry skin containing color may come off while using lotion or washing the tattoo.
