AFtercare instructions
the Short version...
The long version
Thank you so much for getting tattooed by me! At the end of a tattoo it can be hard to focus on aftercare instructions for both of us so here are my recommendations in writing. Thank you so much for trusting me with your tattoo and we’ll hope to see you again soon!
Allow the tattoo to air dry or use a paper towel (as our bath towels can harbor bacteria) to gently blot it dry.
Use a small amount of tattoo balm or unscented and dye-free lotion on the tattoo. If it looks shiny, you’ve probably got a bit too much on there and can blot off any excess with a paper towel. I’d prefer you don’t use aquaphor or any product with petroleum.
Wash the tattoo about twice a day for 2 days then once a dat afterwards. Put the small amount of balm/lotion on after cleaning the tattoo.
Don’t soak the tattoo in water until it is fully healed. A waterlogged tattoo scab can come off early, leaving light spots where you don’t want them.
So no rivers, lakes, oceans, streams, pools, hot-tubs, saunas, super hot showers, etc until your tattoo is fully healed.
DO NOT PICK OR SCRATCH YOUR TATTOO! This may lead to light or missing spots on your tattoo. You can give your tattoo a light slap to help alleviate the itchiness.
If you have furry friends at home, avoid getting their hair near your tattoo as dander can sometimes irritate our healing tattoos.
Don’t let people touch it!
Try not to wear tight or abrasive clothing against the tattoo as it heals.
Avoid sun exposure until your tattoo is fully healed. Its good practice to use sunscreen on your healed tattoos to protect their longevity. UV rays can lighten your tattoo the same way a t-shirt fades in the sun.
That is all! Please feel free to reach out with any questions! Be sure to watch my email newsletters and instagram posts for new designs for sale.

- Second Skin/Tagaderm: 12-72 hours from placement. However, you know your lifestyle and body better than I do. If it's bothering you. Take it off. If it feels good and comfy after 3 days, keep wearing it until it comes off more naturally. Run warm water over it and lubricated soap under the bandage. Gently peel it downwards, stretching the plastic as you go. Stretching the bandage will break down the adhesive. If you have an extra second skin sheet, you may remove the first one after 24 hours. Apply it and leave it on for about 4-5 days and remove same as above. If you’re taking this one off and then leaving it off, go ahead and wear it as long as it stays on or as long as you’re comfortable. Warning! A bandaid, gauze, etc is not the same as this medical grade bandage and will not encourage cleanliness and healing the same way if applied after this comes off. If the bandage comes off on its own then just remove it completely, wash the tattoo and do not apply another bandage unless it is Tagaderm.
- Non-Absorbant pad: remove after about 3 hours to overnight from placement as directed by your tattooist. You won’t need to put another bandage on. Wash tattoo with warm water and mild soap (preferably no scent or dye) using your fingertips. You’ll feel the texture of your skin and the tattoo, it will no longer feel slick from excess blood, plasma, ink or balm. Soap from a pump is preferable as bar soap can get hairs and bacteria stuck to it that may transfer to your tattoo.
