If TegaDerm bandage: Remove bandage on third day by peeling off under running water. Bandage is water resistant, but not water proof - do not soak.

If standard bandage: Remove after 2 hours.

Wash hands, then wash your tattoo with antibacterial soap using your fingertips. DO NOT use a washcloth or scrubber! Rinse thoroughly. Pat dry with a clean towel. Allow your tattoo to air-dry another 20-30 minutes if it appears moist or oozing. With clean hands, apply a small amount of unscented lotion after washing. Repeat 3-5 times daily.

• DO NOT pick, scratch, or peel any loose skin or scabs. They will come off when ready while washing or applying moisturizer.

• DO NOT soak your tattoo in pools, the ocean, baths, hot tub, etc. Short showers only until completely healed (approximately 2 weeks).

• NO DIRECT SUNLIGHT until completely healed. Once healed, apply sunscreen (spf 45 or higher) if you cannot avoid sun exposure to keep your tattoo looking new.

• BE AWARE that during the first few days of healing, your tattoo may seep ink, blood, or lymph, which may stain sheets or clothing.

• PLEASE DO NOT go into the ocean or a pool with your fresh tattoo. Tattoos are open wounds, and thus at risk of infection without proper care. Last Days Tattoo Parlor provides aftercare instructions every time you get tattooed. How your tattoo heals is up to you- so treat it well!
