Leave the bandage on for 1-2 hours. Remove and wash with an antibacterial soap and warm water.

Apply a thin layer of A&D Ointment or Aquaphor to the tattoo for the next 3-4 days about 3-4 times a day.

You may switch to a non-scented lotion and apply for the rest of the healing time.

Make sure to keep it clean, keep it out of the sun, and do not submerge the tattoo in water (oceans, pools, baths, etc.). Showers are perfectly fine.

It may become itchy and/or peel. DO NOT pick or scratch at it. Let the skin fall off naturally. Scratching or peeling may result in removing ink from the tattoo.
