Leave the bandage on for about an hour. If it sticks when you try to take it off, soak it down in cold water, then wash the tattoo with antibacterial soap using your fingers only. (NO washclothes, sponges, lather-builders, etc.) Let the tattoo stand and dry (about 20 minutes). If you use Tattoo Goo, (sold at Hammers) you can start using it 2 or 3 hours after you take your bandage off. If you use lotion, wait until the following day. Use any hand lotion (NON-MEDICATED, no aloe, no fragrance, no alcohol.) Apply lotion or Tattoo Goo 2 or 3 times a day using a thin amount. Make sure you keep your tattoo clean and that it is dry before you apply any healing products.

DON’T PICK AT YOUR TATTOO WHILE IT IS HEALING!!!!

DO NOT SOAK OR SUBMERGE THE TATTOO FOR ANY EXTENDED TIME.

ABSOLUTELY NO SUN WHILE IT IS HEALING. AFTER IT HEALS, ALWAYS USE SUNBLOCK WHEN EXPOSED TO SUN!!!!

ONE MINUTE IN THE SUN WHILE HEALING IS TOO MUCH!!!!

If you follow these directions carefully your tattoo will heal in roughly 10 days with lotion, 5 with Tattoo Goo.

To make sure your tattoo retains it’s color use sunblock always, only after it has completely healed.
