After Care Instructions
It is important to maintain clean hygiene during the healing process.
A Tattoo can take up to 6 weeks for it to completely heal. The first 2-3 weeks of healing is the most crucial part of the healing process.
NEVER HANDLE YOUR TATTOO WITH DIRTY HANDS!!!
A liquid plasma may develop under the adhesive don't panic it is completely normal during the healing process.
• To remove the adhesive bandage, find an edge of the bandage and pull it back over itself in the direction of hair growth. Applying thin amount of fragrance-free liquid soap on the edges should help loosen the adhesive. The shower is the ideal place to remove adhesive bandage. Running water will help loosen the adhesive and relax the skin, making the removal much more comfortable. Dry removal of the adhesive bandage may cause discomfort and added trauma to the skin.
• Discard the used bandage and wash the tattoo with a fragrance-free liquid soap.
• Allow the tattoo to air dry for 10 minutes or pat dry with a clean paper towel.
