You were tattooed in a modern studio using only single -ruse .and/or sterilized <br />Instruments. Complying with the following Instructions will result in a quick healing <br />process and an attractive tattoo. Remember, the lite of your tattoo depends on the <br />care it receives within the first few weeps. <br />ALWAYS be sure to thoroughly wash your hands with antibacterial soap before <br />touching your new tattoo. Contact with dirty hands Is a major contributor of <br />Infection. <br />Once tattoo is exposed, wash it thoroughly with antibacterial soap and warm water, <br />Be sure to rinse away any &,all secretions and be sure that all soap residues are <br />rinsed off. <br />After washing tattoo, lightly pat dry with clean towel, apply a small amount of <br />Aquaphor ointment and massage Into tattoo. DO NOT apply a thick coat as your skin <br />must be abbe to breathe (If Aquaphor Is unavailable, alternative Is A&D ointment). If <br />rash develops, Lubriderm lotion may be applied). <br />Depending on the nature and extent of your tattoo, it may be necessary to wear <br />clothing heavy enough to protect It, particulary If you work around grease, oil, dirt, <br />metal, etc. <br />Be sure that any clothing that touches your tattoo Is soft and clean. <br />Your new tattoo will develop a layer of dry skim, DO NOT PICK this off. Apply <br />ointment three times daily until the layer falls of on Its own. After the dry skin has <br />fallen off, there will be a period of adjustment for the new skin. It is advisable to use <br />a skin lotion during this time, <br />DQ NOT let the tattoo dry out. <br />DO NOT reapply bandage as the tattoo needs to breath to speed healing. <br />DO NOT use Vasellne, petroleum jelly, alcohol, or peroxide. <br />DO NOT rub, scratch, or pick at tattoo. <br />DO NOT expose new tattoo to direct sunlight for 2 weeks. After that, you can use sun <br />block (SPF 35 or above) to help keep tattoo from fading. <br />DO NOT submerse tattoo in water for 2 weeks. This Includes baths, swimming, and <br />saunas. Saltwater and chlorine act as a bleach and can ruin your tattoo and too <br />much water exposure can cause wrinkling and puckering of skin which can also <br />damage your new tattoo. <br />The healing process usually takes between 2-3 weeks, but can vary From person to <br />person. <br />THE TATTOO IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY <br />ONCE YOU LEAVE THE STUDIO <br />
