• Remove bandage in the morning.
  • Wash tattoo with mild, fragrance-free soap and pat dry.
  • Apply vitamins A and D ointment. Rub it in until the tattoo is dry to the touch, much like applying lotion.
  • Repeat the above instructions 2-3 times daily until the tattoo peels. This generally takes about 10 days.
  • After the tattoo peels, switch to regular skin lotion.
  • Do not pick or scratch the tattoo.
  • Do not swim and avoid a lot of exposure to sunlight for 2 weeks.
     
  • Wash hands thoroughly prior to cleaning and/or touching your piercing.
  • Wash with mild soap 1-2 times daily.
  • Leave cleanser on piercing for no more than 30 seconds. Rince thoroughly, removing all traces of soap from the piercing.
  • Dry by gently by patting with a clean, disposable paper product, such as a paper towel.
  • Though these are general aftercare guidelines, each type of piercing requires more specific care. Your piercer will provide you with these instructions.
