After Care of Your Tattoo
Remove dressing after 1 hour. Wash tattoo with soap and water making sure any traces of blood are gently removed. Pat dry with clean towel, apply a thin layer of recommended healing cream and cover tattoo with cling film. Repeat this procedure every 3-4 hours during the day for the first 3 days. After the 3rd night, stop using the cling film but carry on washing and creaming for the next 7-10 days, this is VERY IMPORTANT!!! After 4-5 days a thin dry layer of skin will start to peel off. If a heavy scab has formed you have not taken care of your tattoo as explained. This may result in loss of colour, scarring and more often than not, a poor looking tattoo. Do not pick or scratch tattoo during healing period. For the first 2 weeks do not soak tattoo, swim, or subject your tattoo to sunlight. If tattoo is taken care of properly, it should be fully healed after approximately 2 weeks.
So my friend, I have done my bit for you, now you must make sure you do your bit for you. I use the most up to date methods known whilst tattooing. I will therefore not be held responsible for any tattoo after dressing has been applied. You only have one skin, so bring it to a professional.
