Please keep in mind that your body has an open wound and that it is in the healing process. Please make sure to rest and to not do anything that may jeopardize your health! It takes a whole month for your tattoo to heal! Please be cautious!
Here are some cautions that you should take:
Do not pick, scratch, peel, slap, re-bandage, rub or irritate your tattoo.
Do not soak your tattoo for 3 weeks. No swimming, soaking, or hot tub.
Do not drink alcoholic beverages, it thins your blood causing the healing process to be hindered.
You may not expose your tattoo to the sun for at least 3 weeks, after that you must use sunblock.
Do not wear abrasive materials, jewelry, or shoes that rub against your tattoo.
Wear clean, soft clothing over your tattoo for the first 2 weeks– nothing abrasive or irritating.
Wash your hands before touching your tattoo. Do not let anyone touch your tattoo.
Try not to gym within the first 2 weeks of getting it.
Beware of gym equipment: wash it well before using it and do not rub your tattoo against any equipment.
Do not sneeze/breathe on your tattoo.
Steps for the best outcome:
Leave second-skin on for 3 days max.
On that 3rd day, remove the second skin in the shower.
Once the second-skin has been removed, clean twice daily by washing it and using a anti-bacterial non-scented soap. Do not scrub!
After cleansing, gently pat your tattoo dry with a clean towel.
Apply a thin layer of A&D Ointment onto your tattoo, after cleansing(s).
Repeat steps 3,4,&5 until day 7.
On the 7th day, after cleansing and drying your tattoo. Apply a thin layer of white, unscented lotion instead of the provided A&D Ointment.
Repeat steps 3,4,&7 for the next 3 weeks.
