First 24 hours
Leave the wrap on for 24 hours, or until the following morning if your session ran late. Avoid exposing the tattoo to direct sunlight or tanning beds.
Washing
Keep the area clean. Wash the area 2 to 3 times a day with unscented antibacterial soap. Pat it dry, don't rub.
Moisture
Keep the area moisturized. Apply a thin layer of Aquaphor or A&D. Thin means you can still see the tattoo through it, not a thick coat.
Healing
Don't scratch or pick at it, even when it flakes. Let it fall off on its own.
Food Intake
Eat a healthy diet containing proteins, vitamins and healthy fats to support healing. Stay hydrated and drink lots of water. Avoid any alcoholic substances, excessive sugar, excessive salt and grease and tight clothing for the full 72 hours following your appointment.
