Remove bandage after 2 hours (do not rebandage)

Wash tattoo with your hand (make sure hand is clean) using warm, soapy water. Rinse with cold water. Don't over soak your tattoo. Keep out of the direct spray of the shower. Pat dry, DO NOT rub with towel.

For 3 to 5 days or until tattoo is healed, apply Carmex 3 to 4 times daily after washing tattoo. Keep tattoo moist. If allergic to Carmex, use a water based lotion such as Curel.

Tattoo will flake. DO NOT pick at the flakes or you may pull the color out. Try not to let clothing rub on your tattoo while it is healing.

NO swimming or suntanning until healed. Apply a high SPF sunblock to tattoo after healed to prevent fading.

Contact you doctor or tattoo artist for further information on the after care of your tattoo.
