Pre tattoo care
It is very important the way you take care of your skin before getting a tattoo.
Always moisturize your skin after cleaning, more points for using an exfoliating scrub.
Do not risk the chance of getting sunburn on the area we will be tattooing, you cannot get tattooed over top of sun burn.
Post tattoo care
Wash tattoo twice a day, once in morning and once before bed, with warm water and UNSCENTED soap.
Apply a THIN layer of your tattoo balm of choice after washing. (keep layers thin you do not want to clog the pores)
After about 5 days when the tattoo starts to scab up you can switch from the tattoo balm to unscented lotion, still using small thin layers
Stay out of sunlight and tanning beds while your tattoo is healing, give it at least 2 weeks.
Do NOT soak your tattoo in the bath tub, a lake, pool, ocean, hot tub, or sauna until your tattoo is fully healed.
Do NOT rub or pick at the area at all while healing
Your tattoo should be healed after 2-3 weeks
Long term
The best way to keep your tattoos looking as good as new.
Moisturize your skin everyday using lotion
Make sure to wear SPF when going in the sun (only on healed tattoos, not fresh)
