Aftercare
Everyone has their own method to healing their tattoos. This is what I personally do and recommend.
​
​
​
What To Do
After our tattoo session I will apply a transparent band aid (Recovery Derm Sheild) in which I recommend to leave on for at least 24 hours and up to 3 days. If you leak, excessively sweat or if water gets inside the band aid, then remove the band aid one these events have taken place.
Once removing the band aid, run the area under some running water to help loosen up the adhesive and provide less trauma upon removal.
When the band aid is removed, wash off all the residue such as blood, plasma, ink and adhesive.
Gently tap with a paper towel and wait 20 to 30 minutes for the area to completely dry and apply a tiny amount of ointment.
Continue washing your tattoo twice a day for the following week and a half and continue to moisturize to have healthy and nourished skin.
