Tattoo Aftercare Guide | How to Care for Your New Tattoo – Nashville Ink
Congratulations on your new Tattoo!
After 2 hours, remove the bandage gently and wash with warm water and liquid antibacterial soap.
Do Not Rebandage!
Apply a thin film organic tattoo ointment 4 times a day for the next week.
After one week, use an hand lotion for an additional week.
Stay out of sunlight and tanning booths until tattoo is healed, at least 14 days.
Do not soak tattoo in the bathtub, sauna, jacuzzi, swimming pool, etc. while your new tattoo is healing.
Do not rub, pick, or scratch at the tattoo while it is healing. Loss of color and/or infection could occur.
Extreme sun and exposure over the years can and will fade your tattoo. This can be minimized by using a strong sunscreen, at least SPF15.
