What do I need to do?

Keep the bandage on for at least 2-3 hours after getting the tattoo.
Remove the bandage and wash the tattoo with lukewarm water and mild soap. Avoid using hot water or scrubbing the tattoo.
Don't use any towel or paper towel, let the fresh tattoo airdry.
Apply a thin, fragrance-free, alcohol-free moisturizer to the tattooed area. Avoid using petroleum-based ointments.
Keep the tattooed area clean and dry. Avoid swimming, soaking in water, or exposing the tattoo to direct sunlight for at least 3-4 weeks.
Avoid wearing tight-fitting clothes or anything that might rub against the tattooed area.
Do not pick or scratch the tattoo. Let the scab naturally fall off.
Avoid touching the tattoo with dirty hands, and wash your hands before applying any aftercare products.
Contact your tattoo artist or a healthcare provider if you experience any indication of infection, redness, swelling, or discharge.
IMPORTANT: Always follow all aftercare instructions your tattoo artist provides.
