How do I take care of my tattoo?
- Remove the bandage after 1-2 hours.
- Wash the tattoo with DIAL™ ANTI-BACTERIAL SOAP and warm water.
- Let it dry for 10 – 15 minutes.
- Apply AQUAPHOR™ sparingly 3 – 5 times daily or as needed to prevent scabs.
- Handle with Care Tattoo Locations (Hands/Wrists, Ankles/Feet & Ditches: Elbow/Hips/Knees) need 2– 3 times more ointment application in these locations. These spots take 2x as long to heal and need more care during the healing process.
- DO NOT PICK, SCRATCH OR SOAK YOUR NEW TATTOO DURING THE HEALING PROCESS.
- Avoid tanning, swimming, & sunbathing during the healing process.
- Peeling skin after 7 – 10 is NORMAL, DO NOT PICK IT OFF. Start using LUBRIDERM LOTION until tattoo is completely healed.
- Your new tattoo should be healed in 2 – 3 weeks.
- If problems occur, such as EXCESSIVE SWELLING OR REDNESS, PLEASE CONTACT A PHYSICIAN.
