How to take care of your new tattoo

Some things to remember after you get your tattoo:

~Avoid sun exposure, keep the tattoo out of direct sunlight and avoid tanning beds until it’s fully healed.

~Don’t pick or scratch. Let any scabs or peeling skin fall off naturally to prevent scarring or infection. 

~Wear loose clothing. Opt for loose fitting clothes over the tattooed area to avoid irritation.

~Stay Hydrated. Drink plenty of water to help your skin heal

~Avoid soaking. For the first few weeks avoid swimming pools, hot tubs, the beach and long baths.

~Watch for signs of infection. Be alert for excessive redness, swelling or discharge.

~Follow your artists advice. Always adhere to the specific aftercare instructions provided by your tattoo artist.

~Give it time. Healing can take several weeks, so be patient and treat your tattoo with care.

Taking these steps will help ensure your tattoo heals properly and looks great for years to come!
