Aftercare Instructions.
It is your responsibility to read and follow these directions!
- Keep bandage on until you are someplace where you can begin proper care, preferably no longer than ten hours.
- After removing the bandage: Wash the tattoo with cool water. Cool water is less likely to stimulate bleeding again. When washing the tattoo, water rinse and/or soak. Gently wipe. Take care to get all the little blood beads off. You can wipe it softly; this will not hurt the tattoo. Basic baby wipes work great..
- After washing: Apply a very small amount of the Aquaphor to the tattoo. Whatever you can't wipe into the skin... wipe off! If later it appears dry
it is, so put more Aquaphor on. Use as sparingly as hand lotion. It is better to use very little more frequently, than to cake it on and leave it.
- Don't re-bandage!
