Remove your bandage after 2-4 hours, and wash your tattoo well with soap and water, pat dry with a clean towel. DO NOT apply any creams or ointments to it at this time. For the first night you may re-wrap it in cling film to prevent sticking to bedsheets. Make sure your bedsheets and blankets are clean, very important. Wash your tattoo morning and night with warm soapy water for 7-10 days or until healed.
On day 3 you may apply a small amount of light moisturiser lotion (Vaseline Dry Skin Lotion or E-45 is what I recommend) Keep your tattoo clean, out of the pool/ocean/sauna for 1 week minimum, out of the sun for 3 weeks minimum. I advise wearing loose clothing over your tattoo while it is healing as it will be more comfortable and will allow your tattoo to heal properly.
Don’t pick at your tattoo while it’s healing.
