Your artist may reschedule at any time for any reason.
Aftercare procedures?
You will want to first wash with cool water and unscented anti-bacterial soap, after washing your tattoo you should let your tattoo completely dry. You may do so by letting the piece air dry or dabbing it with a clean paper towel. Do not use a regular towel they can harbor bacteria. Once the Tattoo is completely dry, you should apply your ointment. (A&D or aquaphor or if you have another brand of Tattoo ointment you may use that as well). When you apply your ointment, you want to do a nice thin layer fully rubbed in like you would with lotion. You will repeat this 2 to 3 times a day during the first week.
It is completely normal for your tattoo to peel around day three or four do not pick or scratch at your tattoo let it peel naturally.
During the healing process, you should not be swimming, taking baths, or exercising. Anything where the Tattoo is in a submerged body of water could introduce bacteria. Cool Showers are perfectly fine.
For exercising, I advised to wait at least a week to do so as you do not want to affect the quality of your tattoo. I would not do direct sunlight on your tattoo for at least 2 1/2 to 3 weeks if you are out in the sun after the first two weeks, please apply SPF to your tattoo.
For saniderm rap, you will leave it on for three nights after the three nights. I advised to remove in the shower as you peel the wrap up after the wrap is removed you should continue with regular aftercare. While wearing the wrap, you should not be exercising as you do not want to trap sweat underneath the wrap it could create bacteria.
When can I see my design?
Your design will be ready the Tuesday the week of your appointment unless other changes were requested to be done by the client then the drawing may be presented day of the appointment.
