Tattoo Care< A graphic will replace this text for finished product
The life of your tattoo depends upon the care it receives in
the first 2 weeks. Keep the tattoo covered with the bandage for at least two
hours. After this time remove the bandage. Wash it thoroughly with soap and
water. Be sure to remove all surface blood and rinse off all soap. Lightly pat
dry.

With clean hands apply a very light coat of A & D ointment or an unscented
uncolored hand lotion such as Curel' or Lubriderm a minimum of three times a
day. This ointment/ lotion can be purchased at the shop or at any drug store. If
a rash occurs discontinue use.
DO NOT LET TATTOO DRY OUT
DO NOT PICK THE TATTOO

The tattoo will develop a layer of dry skin. Let this skin fall off naturally.
After the skin has fallen off there will be a period of adjustment. It is
advisable to apply a lotion. The tattoo is your responsibility after you leave
the shop. USE COMMON SENSE.
