Tattoo After Care
- For at least 2 weeks, minimize exposure to sun, and discourage swimming in fresh, salt, and chlorinated water (basically don't submerge yourself in water)
- Properly cleanse the tattooed area. Unscented antibacterial soaps are the best. Clean tattoo at least twice a day or as needed
- Apply antibiotic ointment or cream. Any tattoo aftercare lotion, Aquaphor, or unscented lotion will do. I start this on day 2/3 and use sparingly
- Use sterile bandage(s) or other sterile dressing(s) when necessary
- Clients shall consult a health care practitioner at the first sign of infection or an allergic reaction
