Tattoo Aftercare

1. Arriving home

Wash your hands and remove the plastic wrap. It is normal for there to be blood, petroleum jelly and ink under the film. Wash the tattoo with lukewarm water and a mild fragrance-free soap. Blot gently and allow to air dry. Avoid wearing white clothes, the tattoo will shed some ink and blood a few hours later (this is totally normal). Pay attention to sheets during the night* .
2. The first week

Avoid hot showers, the heat dilates the skin pores. This can cause excessive ink release or cause the ink to expand under the skin. Avoid contact with dust, dirt and pet hair* *. Do not allow tattoo to soak; no spa, pool, lake or bath, or even sauna. Once or twice a day, apply a thin layer of Hustle Butter. We strongly recommend the purchase of this product since it was designed exclusively for tattoo care. Make sure hands are clean when applying.
3. Throughout the rest of the healing period

The tattoo will peel or flake. Do not pull or tear them, they will fall off by themselves. Avoid exposure to sunlight and UV rays* **. Be sure to put a thin layer of fragrance-free cream on your tattoo once or twice a day. It is normal for your tattoo to itch, run it under cold water or apply a cold water compress, this should calm the itch. Full healing may take 4-6 weeks. Avoid covering the tattoo with a bandage or similar.
