Hey there inked-up friend!

Things to avoid:

  • Do not let your dog lick your fresh tattoo!
  • Do not pick, scratch, peel, slap, rub or irritate your tattoo.
  • You can shower, but you may not soak your tattoo for 2 weeks. No swimming, soaking, or hot tub.
  • You may not expose your tattoo to the sun for at least 2 weeks; after that, sunblock lotion is suggested.
  • Do not wear abrasive materials, jewelry, or shoes that rub against your fresh tattoo.
  • Do not let anyone touch your tattoo. It’s an open wound, be careful.
  • Beware of gym equipment; do not touch your fresh ink while working out.

Here are some useful tips for tattoo aftercare:

Keep it clean. Wash it gently with mild soap and warm water if needed. Don’t be afraid to get up close and personal with your new tattoo, but don’t overdo it either.

Moisturize. keep it hydrated with some unscented lotion or ointment

  • Use Aquaphor ointment, A&D ointment, Neosporin or lubriderm

. But don’t slather it on like you’re frosting a cake, a little goes a long way.

Now go forth and show off that awesome new tattoo! Just don’t blame me if you get too much attention ;)

You can also

  • Ice your tattoo to reduce swelling.
  • Take short showers.

If you do not take care of your tattoo, it may become infected or damaged. Infections are very red around the outside of the tattoo and may have thin red lines extending from it. It may ooze, pus, or bleed abnormally. If you think your tattoo is infected, seek medical attention immediately.

Consult a physician or dentist as appropriate at the first sign of infection
