– unless you have an allergy to adhesive, second skin will be placed on in your new tattoo. Unless you seem to be having a reaction to the second skin, leave it on for 3 days about.a reaction would be redness around where the bandage is. Some blood in the bandage is ok.

– No hot tubs or sun until completely healed. Sun will always fade pigment, use sunscreen to prevent this.

– Please do not scratch at your tattoo or do anthting else that might pull off the healing skin, you will lose color

– If you have questions, please contact me for advice, a lot of people are misinformed about aftercare by well meaning friends.

– You may have one free touch up within one year, if needed( except Hands and feet)

-It takes about 2weeks for a tattoo to heal completely. Some redness, swelling and soreness are normal and can take quite awhile to completely go away. It is also normal for clear fluid and ink to come out soon after the tattoo is done.

You should wait until it feels dry to put anything on it. Coconut oil(the cooking kind) is good for helping the dry skin, just use in moderation.

If you have an increase of redness, swelling or pain seek medical advice immediately. Infections can be very serious even on a tiny scrape. your tattoo is a big scrape. Signs of infection can also be caused by an allergy, this is very rare and almost always caused by red ink.
