After your appointment

These are minimal requirements to meet our project agreements stated in your tattoo request agreement. If you stray and have a hard heal, you are financially liable for touch up sessions, not the artist or studio.

Do not take off bandage until ready to wash for this fluid will dry and form a scab. Your first wash can be messy, be prepared. Make sure your sink/shower is cleaned and aftercare is accessible.

1. With clean hands, wash your tattoo with an unscented antibacterial soap. (try our Gold Rush Foam Soap!) Use small circular motions with moderate pressure while touching the tattoo.
2. Rinse with clean water and repeat until the tattoo is clean from slimy fluids and build up. Pat dry with clean paper towel(s).
3. With clean hands, use a small amount of salve/ointment (try our aftercare Butter) and apply with gentle circular motions. Make sure not to double dip, or contaminate your salve with dirty hands. Repeat these steps for 3 days, 3 times a day.

On the fourth day, switch from the thicker butter to a moisturizing, unscented lotion (try our Whipped Lotion) to prevent the tattoo from cracking. During this time, your skin may become flaky like a sunburn peel.
