Leave bandage on for 2-3 days unless I told you otherwise during our appointment.
Try not to do anything that would cause excessive sweating while bandage is on.
Remove bandage in the shower. Peel up a tab from the bottom of the bandage and continue to stretch it down and away from the top, similar to a command strip.
Follow up with warm water and unscented antibacterial soap, then pat dry with a clean paper towel or air dry.
Moisturize with Aquaphor or A&D 2x a day for the first 2 weeks of healing, after that moisturize as needed.
No tight clothes or jewelry on the tattoo for the first week of healing.
Keep out of water submersion or direct sunlight for at LEAST the first 2 weeks of healing.
DON’T SCRATCH IT!!! You can lightly smack the tattoo or use bagged ice to stop the itching.
