Keep your tattoo clean, dry, and protected while it heals.

After removing the bandage:

• Wash your hands first.

• Gently wash the tattoo with lukewarm water and fragrance-free soap.

• Pat dry with a clean paper towel.

• Apply a very thin layer of fragrance-free lotion or your recommended aftercare product.
  

For the next 2–4 weeks:

• Do not scratch, pick, or peel.

• Avoid pools, hot tubs, baths, lakes, and oceans.

• Avoid direct sun and tanning.

• Wear clean, loose clothing.

• Keep pets, dirty bedding, and shared towels away from the tattoo.

• Do not use peroxide, alcohol, or heavily scented products.

Mild redness, tenderness, itching, flaking, and light scabbing can be normal.

Seek medical care if redness spreads, pain or swelling worsens, the tattoo feels hot, drains pus, develops red streaks, or you have fever or chills.
