Below is a copy of my aftercare sheet in case you forgot yours or need a brush-up.

ཐི♡ཋྀ TATTOO AFTERCARE ཐི♡ཋྀ

☆ Leave dermashield on for 2-4 days, or at least 24 hours, if comfortable (should it start to peel, take it off).

☆ The build-up of liquid (blood, plasma, ink) is normal. While the patch is on, you can still shower and get it wet. 

☆ Remove the patch slowly under running water. I find it is easiest at the end of a shower. 

☆ After removing the patch, wash your tattoo with clean hands with any unscented or anti-bacterial soap.

☆ Pat dry with a paper towel or clean towel and rub a thin layer of Aquaphor over the entire tattoo. 

☆ Wash your tattoo 1-2 times a day while it is healing.

☆ Apply Aquaphor 2-3 times a day or as needed for the first week or when your tattoo feels dry. 

☆ Apply lotion (I recommend Lubriderm) as needed when your tattoo feels dry. 

ཐི♡ཋྀ THINGS NOT TO DO WITH A NEW TATTOO ཐི♡ཋྀ 

☆ Do not swim in the ocean, lakes, ponds, or any body of water that could have bacteria or other critters that could cause infection for at least the first two weeks. (if you do, wash it as soon as you can after exposure).

☆ Do not soak in a hot tub, bathtub, or go in a sauna; sweating a lot is bad for your tattoo.

☆ Do not scratch or pick at scabbing or flaking parts of the tattoo (if your tattoo itches, slap it gently).

☆ Do not go tanning or expose your tattoo to direct sunlight and make sure to use sunscreen.

☆ Do not use scented lotions, soaps, or body washes, and avoid using a loofah or towel on it.

☆ Any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out over any means of contact with me ♡
