tattoo Care

• Avoid alcohol 24 hours prior to prevent excessive bleeding
• Eat at least 4 hours before and hydrate
• Ensure the area to be tattooed is clean, no rashes or  open wounds

Fine line tattoos are delicate and can be susceptible to fading and blurring, especially if not properly maintained.

1. Keep clean - a clear bandage will be applied as soon as the tattoo is finished. Leave this bandage on for 24-48 hours, then remove. Gently wash with mild, fragrance-free soap and warm water. Pat dry with a clean paper towel. Repeat for 2-3 days.

2. Moisturize - gently apply a small amount of Vitamin A&D Ointment (provided) or fragrance-free moisturizer to the tattooed area. Repeat as needed.

3. Avoid Sun and Soaking - keep tattoo away from direct sunlight, especially for the first 10 days, and apply a high SPF. Avoid swimming, hot tubs, and otherwise soaking area for first 7 days.

4. Don’t Scratch - do not pick or scratch at the tattoo, even if a scab forms, as this may distort the image.

Tattoos generally take up to 6 weeks to fully heal. Due to their thin and delicate nature, especially if after care is neglected, touch up service may be required.
