TATTOO AFTERCARE



         After your tattoo is complete we will affix a bandage. In approximately 24 hours you are to remove your
         bandage and clean the outer surface of the tattoo with savlon.While washing be sure to clean the surface
         of the tattoo with hand only,do not use a wash cloth. Pat the tattoo dry,apply moisturizers like Ayur or
         Ponds,in a thin layer massaging it into the tattoo. Do not glob moisturizer on. Apply the moisturizer at
         least 3 times daily. Any brand name will do,just do not use any moisturizing lotions that have perfumes 
         or fragrances in them.Yes the tattoo will peel and get itchy,this is just a part of healing process. If 
         you do as we have said here,your tattoo will heal fast and look Great.If you let it Dry-up then you will
         get scabs on the tattoo,if this does happen,just let the scabs fall off naturally.Do not pick any scabs; 
         with the scabs you will pick a piece of the tattoo off.Your tattoo should be taken care for 4 weeks.    

         Keep tattoo out of Sun for 2 weeks.Be sure to cover the tattoo when in direct sunlight for the first two
         weeks,after this it is best to use Sun block whenever in extensive sun,this will prolong the life of your
         tattoo.No,Sun block is not good to use during the healing process,Only after it is healed.
		
         Do not submerge in water-No baths or swimming for atleast 15 days. Do not Soak tattoo while healing, 
         especially Do not get salt or chlorinated water on it,this will affect the colours and healing. 

         Your tattoo may appear red around it- this is OK,the skin is just a little bruised.If it goes past the 2 
         week healing period,stop down and let us take a look so we can direct you as to what you are doing wrong.

         Your tattoo may be sore,like a sunburn during the healing period - this is ok.Especially in areas such as 
         the ankle.This area tends to take a bit longer to heal and may swell a bit due to constant pressure on the 
         ankle from just walking around.It is recommanded that you raise your leg when relaxing.

         If small Pimples or rash forms around the tattoo - This means that either you are allergic to the ointment 
         that you are using on the tattoo,or you are using too much ointment - 90% of the time it is that you are 
         using too much ointment and suffocating the skin.This rash is called Pricky Heat,its no big deal - Just 
         stop using the ointment and spray the tattoo area with rubbing alcohol 3 times dialy - this will dry it up
         in a few days.If it does continue,come down and let us take a look,we know best.

         Remember - at this point the tattoo artists job is complete - The rest is up to you - So please take Great
         care in the healing of your tattoo.The better you follow these directoins the better it will look.
