( 04 / Aftercare )
The session is half the work. Healing is the other half. Save this page or screenshot it before you leave the studio.

Saran Wrap
Since I don't use a second skin, please remove the wrap an hour and thirty minutes after the session, but don't keep it for more than 4 hours.
- ( 02 )
Wash well
Wash the tattooed area well, with a neutral soap. No crazy colors/scents, and exfoliants. You will do this after removing the saran wrap, and twice a day for 2 weeks.
- ( 03 )
No lotion for the first 3 days
The main thing I do differently is this. Please don't moisturize for the first 3 days after the session, this protects the tattoo better. After the 3 days, when the tattoo is fully scabbed, and after you've washed it. That's when you start applying lotion, a thin well spread application. The lotion has to be neutral like the soap. No crazy colors/scents, and exfoliants.

No submerging the tattoo
No crazy sweating, so take it easy at the gym or work out. No tubs, swimming pools, saunas, jacuzzis, ocean. Avoid them until the tattoo's scab is peeled off.
- ( 05 )
No direct sun
Don't cook your tattoo under the sun, wear a long sleeve or cover it if you're outside during the healing process.
- ( 06 )
Common sense
Don't scratch/slap your tattoo, rub it against scratchy surfaces, let your pet lick it while healing, etc.
- ( 07 )
Once fully healed/settled
I tattoo for the future, so you'll love your tattoo way more once it's fully healed/settled. This will take one and a half months to two months after we do it. So please help me take care of it.
( If anything feels off, pain past day 3, redness spreading, fever, message me. )
