Steps to Take care of your tattoo

• Leave That Bandage Alone!
  Your artist has taken good care of your tattoo by covering it immediately. This is because of the air-born bacteria. Your beautiful looking tattoo is still a wound that can be infected by bacteria.
  So let it be covered for at least 2 hours.
  We understand that getting a new tattoo would create excitement and you want to show it to your friends. But your friends need to wait for a little longer.
• Wash and TreatAfter you remove the Bandage, Its time to wash it now. The lukewarm water and the leather of the soap are recommended. Don’t use the soap directly on the tattoo. Keep on washing it at-least for 2 minutes. It will clean the blood, plasma and ointment from the tattoo. Then Pat the tattoo gently with a CLEAN towel to make it completely dry.
  NOTE-*** Don’t use Neosporin. It’s good for cuts and scrapes but it’s not made for tattoos***
• Specialty Products and Lotionsyou want you can choose Special products that are made for tattoos only like Tattoo Wax, Tattoo Goo. It’s not compulsory but it’s your choice.

But just avoid soaking it. and if there is soap or shampoo on your tattoo, wash it with water quickly. Don’t rub it with a towel. just do a pat dry. Swimming should be avoided for at least 2 to 3 weeks.
• Scabbing and PeelingAfter a few days you will see some peeling and scabbing on the tattoo. But it is normal. no need to be panic. keep applying the tattoo wax or the ointment on the tattoo and it’ll come off eventually on their own.
