Tattoo care instructions

Follow these instructions to ensure the healing of your tattoo:

We utilize second skin a.k.a, saniderm bandaging. This waterproof, breathable bandage is the front line of tattoo healing.

Your bandage will be applied and you will leave it on a minimum of 24 hours. This allows your plasma to start the healing process, all while making sure no dirt, and/or disease enter the tattoo in this very fragile first 24 hours!

  • Remove your bandage while in the shower. There will be a plasma build up under the bandage.

  • Clean your new tattoo with Tattoo Lovers Care Antibacterial Foam Soap and/or an over-the-counter antibacterial soap with no perfumes or additives (ex: aloe, coconut).

  • Allow you new tattoo to air dry completely. Pat dry (do not rub) with a towel as your skin is still in a fragile healing stage.

  • Apply either Tattoo Lovers Care or Numb 27 Tattoo Healing Balm for the next 3 days. Only apply about 2-3 times a day. And be sure to cleanse with your antibacterial soap before each application.

  • After 3 days with the ointment, you are ready to switch to your Tattoo Lovers Care Clean White Lotion and/or the brand of your choice as long as there are no additional perfumes or additives.

Do not use any of the following products, they are outdated and have proven to contribute to terrible healing process and/or the ability to allow bacteria to stay on a fresh tattoo: NO A&D, COCO BUTTER, VASELINE, NEOSPORIN, VITAMIN E, CORN HUSKERS OR ANY OTHER PETROLEUM BASED PRODUCTS.

DURING YOUR TATTOOS HEALING PROCESS: DO NOT SOAK YOUR TATTOO IN ANY WATER. NO BATHS, NO HOT TUBS, NO SWIMMING.

ALSO NO: TANNING, EXCESSIVE EXERCISE, OR ANYTHING THAT WOULD CONTRIBUTE TO THE TATTOO HEALING PROCESS BEING INTERRUPTED.
