After your tattoo has been wrapped, leave the bandage on for at least 2 hours. After removing your bandage, wash your tattoo gently with anti-bacterial soap and clean water. For the first 2-3 days use A & D ointment, applying a small amount to tattoo 3 times a day or anytime the tattoo seems to be dry or scaly. Keep tattoo area clean. After the first 2-3 days, switch to lubriderm or curel unscented lotion. Apply a small amount 3 times a day for the next 2 weeks. Avoid prologed soaking or prolonged exposure to sunlight or UV rays. Do not pick your scabs or scratch your tattoos as this increases the risk of poor healing or infection. If you are unsure about any part of the healing process, please call Resistance at (559) 438-8288 (438-TATT).
