First, CONGRATS on the new tattoo, you cool kid you!! So, I sent you with a clear sticker on your tattoo called Recovery Derm. Its a sister bandage to tegaderm and saniderm. BUT there is NO latex in the bandage. Leave it on for at least 24 hours, but it can stay on up to 5 days. I may tell you less time in person depending on the size of the tattoo. If anything starts to leak out, take it off. To take it off, let warm water run over it for several minutes to loosen the adhesive. Roll it off or pull parallel to the body, it coming off in chunks is normal. Wash with a fragrance and dye free soap. Rinse with clean water and pat dry with clean paper towels. Apply a light layer of a fragrance and dye free lotion to moisturize. Gently rub it in and lightly remove excess. Repeat 3x a day for 2 weeks. If you have any kind of reaction to the bandage like redness, itching, hives PLEASE take it off ASAP.

Yup yup! It's totally normal for the tattoo to scab a little and peal like a sunburn. Do NOT pick or peal these! You run risk of ruining your tattoo by removing ink or causing infection.

This is also a normal part of healing! These are nerves regenerating and getting feelings back. It is very important you do NOT scratch the tattoo! You can gently tap or gently rub with more lotion. Key word: Gently!!

Yup! That is just how your body can heal things sometimes, even when you do everything perfect! So rude. No worries though!! As long as you contact me with in the year of getting the tattoo, we are able to do a free touch up! I want it to look amazing for you and sometimes tattoos just need a little extra love.

Never!! I am here for you for any questions or concerns! Please never hesitate to reach out and ask questions!
