AFTER CARE
Remember that post-care after any Tattoo and Body Piercing service is very important to guarantee an adequate result and proper healing.
Do not soak tattoo in a hot tub, sauna, jacuzzi or go swimming while your tattoo is healing. Showers are fine. Wait at least 15 days before taking your new tattoo for a swim.
Do not scratch or pick the tattoo while it is healing. Loss of color and infection could occur.
Extreme sun exposure will fade your tattoo, using proper sunscreen may help in reducing fading. Feel free to contact your artist with any questions.

Your tattoo should heal in 1-2 weeks. Contact your artist if you have any signs or symptoms such as the following: redness at site or area of tattoo, green or yellow discharge.
Tattoo - After Care
After 1 hour, remove the bandage and wash with warm water and antibacterial soap.
DO NOT REBANDAGE
Always wash hands prior to applying a thin layer of Aquaphor every 4-6 hours for the next 7-9 days. After 7-9 days, use a non-scented hand lotion like Lubriderm or Curel until the skin returns to its pre-tattoo condition.
Stay out of the sunlight and tanning booths until the tattoo is healed, at least 12-15 days.

NAVEL: Avoid sleeping on your stomach and your side as this can cause excessive swelling and prolong the healing process. Do not use any items of clothing that are tight on the area. Clean twice daily making sure you are getting the top and bottom of the pierced sight. Avoid exercise for the first few days or until swelling subsides.

EAR/EAR CARTILAGE AND FACIAL: Use the t-shirt trick: Dress your pillow in a large, clean t-shirt and turn it nightly; one clean t-shirt provides four clean surfaces for sleeping. Maintain cleanliness of telephones, headphones, eyeglasses, helmets, hats, and anything that makes contact with the pierced area. Use caution when styling your hair and advise your stylist of a new or healing piercing.

NIPPLES: The support of a tight cotton shirt or sports bra may provide protection and feel comfortable, especially for sleeping. However, listen to your body, if it hurts do not do it.
