Aftercare

I will place a wrap with ointment on your tattoo(s).
Remove the wrap after 24 hours. Gently wash the tattoo with antibacterial soap and water and be sure to pat dry.
Apply a thin layer of Aquaphor Healing Ointment
Gently wash your tattoo area twice a day with soap and water and gently pat dry before reapplying the Aquaphor ointment. 
Keep applying the Aquaphor ointment after you clean it to keep it moist.

You should repeat this process for 2 to 4 weeks. Also try not to wear clothes that will stick to your tattoo, and avoid swimming and the sun for about 2 weeks. And take cool showers. Scalding hot water will not only hurt, but it can also fade the ink. Wear a physical blocker sunscreen with at least 7% zinc oxide sunscreen during the daylight hours and/or cover it up (with clothing, a bandage).

If your tattoo scabs a bit or develops hard layers, don’t worry. It’s normal. But never pick, scratch, or peel it. You could get an infection or remove the color.

Do NOT touch your tattoo. It is an open wound and will get bacteria in it and could possibly cause an infection.
