TATTOO AFTERCARE INSTRUCTIONS
 

• Leave your tattoo wrapped for 1-3hrs.

• Shower/ Wash carefully with warm water and soap.

• Warm water releases any bad materials and opens the pores.

• Rinse with cold water.

• Pat tattoo dry. Do not rub. Let tattoo air dry for 30 minute. Then Apply a very thin layer of POLYSPORIN to the tattooed area.

• Apply the POLYSPORIN several times a day for the next 3 days.

• On the 3rd day, switch to a non-scented white lotion. Preferably LUBRIDERM.

• NEVER use a bath towel. Always use a new, clean papertowel to blot dry.

• The THINNER you apply your ointment/lotion - the lighter it will scab and quicker it will heal.

•  

• (On a long and intense session, it is recommended to ice the tattooed area for at least 1-2 hours Twenty Mins on. Twenty Mins off. Also, use a fever reducer (Advil, Alieve, ect.) just like the bottle says for the first 3 days. The less activity, the better
