Aftercare

Traditional Aftercare

KEEP YOUR TATTOO WRAPPED FOR 3-4 HOURS AFTER YOUR APPOINTMENT. ONCE YOU ARE HOME, WASH YOUR NEW TATTOO WITH WARM WATER AND ANTIBACTERIAL SOAP IN THE SINK OR SHOWER. PAT DRY WITH A PAPER TOWEL OR LET IT AIR DRY AND THEN APPLY A LIGHT, THIN COAT (LIKE CHAPSTICK) OF SORRY MOM TATTOO BALM, REDEMPTION TATTOO AFTERCARE OR AQUAPHOR OINTMENT. APPLY THE SAME OINTMENT 2-3 TIMES A DAY FOR THE NEXT 3-4 DAYS. AT THIS POINT, YOUR TATTOO WILL START TO PEEL, FLAKE AND ITCH LIKE A SUNBURN AT WHICH POINT YOU CAN SWITCH FROM THE OINTMENT TO AN UNSCENTED LOTION FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS, WHENEVER YOUR TATTOO FEELS DRY OR ITCHY. YOUR TATTOO SHOULD BE FULLY HEALED IN A WEEK AND A HALF TO TWO WEEKS. ALL TATTOOS HEAL DIFFERENTLY.

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS, PLEASE CALL, MESSAGE OR EMAIL THE SHOP!

Tattoo derm shield

THE DERM SHIELD IS A TRANSPARENT, ADHESIVE FILM BANDAGE THAT IS DESIGNED TO STAY ON FOR UP TO 5-7 DAYS. YOU CAN SHOWER, AND GET IT WET, BUT DO NOT SOAK THE DERM SHIELD. You MAY NOTICE A POCKET OF FLUID OR INK BUILD UP UNDER THE BANDAGE, THIS IS NORMAL! HOWEVER, IF YOUR DERM SHIELD BEGINS TO LEAK, PLEASE REMOVE IT AS DIRT AND GERMS CAN GET INTO IT AND CAUSE INFECTION. IF YOU HAVE ANY REACTION TO THE ADHESIVE, PLEASE REMOVE THE DERM SHIELD IMMEDIATELY. TO REMOVE THE DERM SHIELD, WE RECOMMEND TAKING IT OFF IN THE SHOWER AS IT MAKES IT EASIER. WITH CLEAN HANDS, GENTLY PEEL OFF THE SHIELD AND THEN WASH THE TATTOO WITH WARM, SOAPY WATER. ONCE COMPLETELY WASHED, PAT THE TATTOO DRY WITH A PAPER TOWEL OR LET IT AIR DRY. IF YOU KEPT IT ON FOR THE FULL 5-7 DAYS, YOUR TATTOO WILL BE FULLY HEALED. IF YOU HAVE TAKEN THE SHIELD OFF EARLY, YOU CAN USE THE TRADITIONAL TATTOO AFTERCARE METHOD TO HEAL THE REMAINDER OF THE TATTOO.
