We have recently started using the aftercare wrap (not to be confused with saran wrap). If your artist
has placed the aftercare wrap on your new tattoo, please scroll down to the "Aftercare Wrap
Instructions" and follow those instructions. If the artist wrapped your new tattoo with saran wrap
please follow the instructions below.
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Leave the bandage alone! Your new tattoo was covered up to keep air-born bacteria from invading
your wound. Open flesh is a breeding ground for bacteria and infection. Leave the bandage on for a
maximum of 2 hours. Make sure your hands have been washed thoroughly with antibacterial soap
and warm water before you remove the bandage and every time after throughout the healing
process.
Wash and treat your new tattoo after you remove the bandage. Use lukewarm water and a mild
antibacterial or antimicrobial soap to gently wash away any ointment, blood and/or plasma and to
completely clean the area. Do not use a washcloth or any abrasive. Your hand is the best tool in this
case.If your tattoo is slimy and slippery, you have probably been oozing plasma. Try to remove as
much of this as possible. When plasma dries on the skin surface, it creates scabs. Pat DO NOT RUB
the area firmly with a clean towel or paper towel to get it completely dry. Use clean bed linens and
bath/shower towels throughout the healing process.
Follow with a very light application of your choice of ointment. Hustle Butter would be our first
choice, but if you don't have any, Aquaphor or other similar products of the same type are
acceptable. Petroleum based ointments can clog pores if applied too heavily, which can cause
complications during the healing process. (DO NOT USE NEOSPORIN: this is a wonderful
product for cuts and scrapes, but not for tattoos. Some people can have an allergic reaction to the
Neosporin, which causes red bumps. When the bumps go away, so does the ink in your tattoo.) After
your tattoo begins to peel, you can switch from the ointment to an unscented lotion for the healing
period.
You can shower with a new tattoo. It's ok to get your new tattoo wet, just don't soak it. Submerging
your tattoo in a bath, hot tub or pool can cause serious damage, so you'll want to avoid these for 2-3
weeks. If you get soap or shampoo on your tattoo, just remove it quickly with water. Swimming,
regardless of the water should be avoided for at least 2 weeks.
After a few days you will notice some peeling, and possibly a little scabbing. Excessive scabbing
could indicate a poorly maintained tattoo, but a little is normal and there is no need to panic. Apply
warm, moist compresses to the scabs for 5 minutes 2-3 times a day to soften them, and eventually
they will come off on their own. (Do not apply lotion to a wet scab, wait for it to dry) You will also
start to itch, just like a healing sunburn. Do not pick or scratch it. If the skin is peeling, put lotion on
it, but if it's scabbing, leave it alone. Your tattoo is almost fully healed and now is not the time to
ruin it!
After your tattoo is healed and from now on, you will always want to protect it from the Sun's
ultraviolet rays. These can fade and damage a brilliant tattoo pretty quickly. Before spending a lot oftime in excessive sunlight, protect your tattoo with a minimum of 30 SPF sunblock. This will keep
your tattoo vibrant for many years.
Aftercare Wrap Instructions
The aftercare wrap minimizes the risk of infection by protecting your tattoo so it can heal through its own
natural method. This wrap is meant to stay on for five days and eliminates the hassle of the traditional
aftercare process. Be sure to always wash your hands thoroughly with antibacterial soap and warm water
before handling your tattoo also use clean bed linens and bath/shower towels throughout the healing process.
1. Once the wrap is on, you may resume daily activities including showers (no soaking).
2. If any bubbles of plasma form after, you may poke with a clean needle to let it drain out. If there is a lot
of drainage come back to the shop to clean and re-wrap be sure to give us a call first.
3. On the fifth day remove the wrap, we recommend removing it in the shower. Start at a corner and slowly
pull as the water rolls through.
4. Give your tattoo a good wash with antibacterial soap then use non scented lotion after.
That is it! Your tattoo should be fully healed. If at any moment you have any concerns please do not
hesitate to call us and ask.
