Tattoo AfterCare

This is our basic care information. If you have any questions please use the button below to contact us.

  • 1. Always wash your hands prior to touching the tattooed area.
  • 2. Leave bandage on for at least 2 hours. After removing the bandage, DO NOT apply another bandage.
  • 3. Wash the tattooed area with antibacterial soap and water. Pat the area dry. Apply a super thin coat of “H2Ocean” to the tattooed area. We recommend using the “H2Ocean” lotion instead of antibiotic ointments because they can cause the loss of color in some individuals.
  • 4. Keep tattooed area clean and apply “H2Ocean” as needed to avoid the tattooed area from drying out.
  • 5. The tattooed area will itch during the healing process. This is normal. DO NOT scratch the tattooed area. Applying “H2Ocean” will aid in relieving the itching.
  • 6. Never pick or scrub tattooed areas. Doing so can, and in all probability, will cause loss of color and/or scaring.
  • 7. Avoid tanning beds, sunburn, salt or chlorine water, hot tubs, and soaking in water until the tattooed area is COMPLETELY healed.
  • 8. If you have any questions about your tattoo care please contact us.

*Disclaimer: Healing time for piercing and tattoos varies from person to person. The rate of infection is minimal if the aftercare is followed appropriately it is very important to remember not to touch the pierced or tattooed area without first washing your hands. Normal body reactions to piercing and/or tattooing may includes: redness, swelling, and/or minor discomfort at the site. If after 48 hours more severe complications occur (increased redness, swelling or hardness at the site, pus-like drainage, onset or fever, and/or prolonged pain at the site or respiratory difficulty following tongue piercing), contact your personal physician or dentist (following an oral piercing).
