Thank you for putting your trust in me to give you a tattoo! 

Wear the second skin bandage for 3-5 days. While you are wearing this, you do not need to clean your tattoo. You may shower as normal; showering doesn't affect the bandages adhesive. What to avoid while the bandage is on, do not sweat profusely ie:(hot yoga & saunas), intense sweating will push the ink out(not worth it). Also, do not soak for a long period of time in bacteria/chemical waters like the river or a pool/hot tub. Avoid such water for 2 weeks, this prevents potential infection. Do not get a spray tan for 2 weeks. Do not sun bathe for 2 weeks.
If your skin develops an allergy to this adhesive, (itchy, red, bumps) please contact me or your doctor for further direction.


How to remove your bandage: Place the tattooed area under warm water (in the sink or shower). Peel the bandage off slowly. Clean it gently & thoroughly with antibacterial soap (Dial Gold brand).


Clean twice a day with antibacterial soap for about a week. Don’t use moisturizer on the first day. You do not ned moisturizer unless your tattoo is peeling or visibly dry.



Eventually, your tattoo might scab and itch a little, it's very important to care for your tattoo properly during this stage of healing. Do not itch your tattoo. Please use only my recommended products for moisturizing your tattoo, this will ensure optimal healing. I recommend vitamin E oil, coconut oil, Mad Rabbit tattoo balm or Rixx Lotion. Apply a thin layer as needed. Please no CeraVe, no Vaseline, and no pharmacy store brands!

Later down the road, if we agree that a touch up is needed, touch ups are free unless the tattoo is on your hand, behind the ear, or if it's in colored ink: these touch ups cost $80.

For long term care, exfoliate weekly, apply mineral/zinc sunscreen when needed and moisturize daily. Any further questions or comments, text me (310) 740 3258
