Leave the bandage on for 1hr. Using clean hands, gently wash the tattoo with antibacterial soap fragrance free. Allow the area to air dry or pat gently with a paper towel. No direct sunlight for 3 weeks. No submerging or soaking the area in water. No swimming or hot tub or soaking in a bath tub for 3 weeks. For the first week clean Tattoo 2-3 times a day. Lightly coat the area with a&d ointment, aquaphore or unscented lotion. Do not over moisturize your tattoo! Too much lotion or ointment can damage a new tattoo! Your new tattoo should never appear wet or "gooey". Tattoos take 4-6 weeks to heal depending on person. ALWAYS consult a healthcare professional at the first sign of infection, allergic reaction or adverse reaction resulting from the application of the tattoo artist. No charge for one touch-up session within 90 days of initial session. After care instructions are provided to every client upon completion of each session with artist. Piercing After Care:
ALWAYS wash your hands thoroughly before touching or cleaning your new piercing. Never touch the jewelry or piercing with dirty hands. Saturate a q-tip with warm water to wash/wipe away any dried debris or "crusties" from around the piercing site. Throw this q-tip away. Use antibacterial soap to clean the piercing site and jewelry. Be sure to use soap on the entire area, but turning the jewelry is not necessary unless it is sticking to your skin. You may bathe normally, but don't use anything other than the antibacterial soap to clean the piercing site. Rinse the piercing and jewelry repeatedly until you can ensure that all of the soap is washed away. If your piercing is still tender or seeping, you should continue the cleaning and care regimen, even if past the stated average healing time. Everyone is different and healing times can vary. These are only average healing times. Secretion of fluid is perfectly normal. It will be fairly liquid, whitish-yellow in color and forms a crust on the jewelry at the openings of the piercing. This is not puss, but actually an indication of a healing piercing. It is also not necessary or advisable to rotate the jewelry while healing. Leave the starter jewelry in during the entire healing time. Tightness of the jewelry is normal, even after healed.
***Bleeding, bruising, discoloration and/or swelling is not uncommon. Please contact the shop if you have any concerns or this continues beyond the time discussed at the time of your piercing***
Oral Piercings: Use antiseptic mouthwash after smoking/vaping, eating, drinking or putting anything in your mouth. PLEASE NOTE: Salt water is not recommended as it may cause the piercing site to swell or susceptible to infection easier. For any and all questions, please contact the shop during business hours:
