Wash your tattoo 3 times per day with a non antibacterial soap that is unscented (Lever, Ivory, or Dove) and running water. Never use bar soap directly, only use the lather.

After washing, for the first 3 days, apply a light amount of unscented original formula lotion (Curel preferably or also optional: A&D or Aquaphor)

After the first 3 days, continue to wash your tattoo 1 to 2 times per day with running water and apply a light amount of unscented original formula lotion (Curel)

Make sure your hands are clean before touching your healing tattoo.

Your tattoo will start to peel and flake off in a few days. Treat it like a sunburn. DO NOT go into direct sunlight or tanningfor 2-4 weeks. DO NOT soak or swim with your tattoo for 2-4 week. That includes bathtubs, jacuzzis, hot tubs, rivers, lakes and/or oceans.

Always apply a 30 SPF sunblock to your tattoo when it is exposed to any sun or artificial (tanning) light. Your tattoo will look a lot better longer if you do this everytime you are exposed. Either that or cover it up!

Never pick at your healing tattoo.

Healing time is between 2-6 weeks.
