The area in which you have had tattooed will need to stay clean and dry until fully healed. You will wash the area twice a day with antibacterial soap unless advised otherwise. DO NOT use any aftercare ointments unless advised otherwise. A mild lotion free from perfumes and alcohol may be used once your tattoo starts to get dry and/or itchy. Refrain from makeup, tanning, swimming, facials and any other cosmetic procedures until you are fully healed.
