dry healing

Congrats on your new tattoo! I have applied a wrap on your new tattoo. When you get home, shower and gently wash your tattoo. Pat your it dry with a clean towel then apply a thin layer of lotion. It is very important to keep your tattoo clean so wash your tattoo multiple times a day and use a thin layer of lotion after. Wearing loose clothing and keeping your pets away will aid the healing process.
Hot tubs, steam rooms and swimming pools should be avoided for up to 4 weeks. Direct sun exposure should be avoided.
Vigorous workouts is not recommended for the first 2 days.

Continue washing your tattoo multiple times a day and applying a thin layer of lotion. By day 5, you will see your tattoo slowly settling into your skin. Seeing some skin flaking is completely normal. If it is itchy, don’t scratch or pick at it! You can apply some lotion, if you notice is it dry. Tattoos are fully healed in the skin at 4-5 weeks.
