I offer free touch ups to tattoos for 3 months unless other wise noted. Hands, fingers, feet, knees, inner lip, generally will have an issue. After you have followed the care instructions and feel you may need a touch up, please contact me. Touch ups will be set by appointment during slower times.

How to care for your new tattoo...

Clean/Wash

Clean/Wash

Clean/Wash

 For one to three weeks (or until the tattoo is healed), wash the tattoo, at minimum, once when you wake, once before bed. Use an antibacterial soap to avoid infections. You can stop washing after flaking or any scabbing is gone.

Lotion

Clean/Wash

Clean/Wash

After you have washed your tattoo, pat dry or air dry. Once dry put a small amount of lotion on. Don't soak your tattoo in lotion. Use small amounts and add more if needed. Make sure lotion is dye and fragrance free.

Do

Clean/Wash

Make sure you wash your tattoo. Not keeping it clean can lead to infections. Also putting lotion on thru out the day is a good idea. If it itches, wash your hand and put a little bit of lotion on. Lightly tapping can also help if it itches. 

Dont

Remeber

Dont

Scratch or pick at your tattoo. You have an open wound/abrasion, this could lead to infection. Until the flaking/scabbing is done, no swimming, steam, or long soaks. Wash but keep time limited till healed. Also refrain from using petroleum jelly. It can smother your tattoo.
