Aftercare

1. After 12 hours, remove the bandage gently (if applicable) and wash with warm water and mild soap.


2. Allow for the skin to breathe and let the tattoo start healing on its own.


3. Apply a thin film of coconut oil, or any other organic oil from the Earth, 3 times a day for the next 3 days.


4. After 3 days, apply moisturizer once a day, or whenever remembering, until skin returns to its pre-tattoo condition. Everyone heals at their own pace but expect at least 2 weeks.


5. Stay out of sunlight and tanning booths until your tattoo is healed, at least 7-10 days.


6. Do not soak your tattoo in the tub, sauna, Jacuzzi or go swimming while your new tattoo is healing. Showers are fine.


7. Extreme sun and exposure over the years can and will fade your tattoo. This can be
minimized by using a strong sunscreen, at least SP25, or simply organic coconut oil.


8. Your tattoo should heal in 2 weeks. Consult a physician if any signs or symptoms develop
such as the following: redness at site, fluid discharge, and/or fever. Rest assured, these are
very unlikely to happen.


9. It may get itchy during healing. You’re on the right track. Gently apply coconut oil, or other natural moisturizers. The itch will be soothed.


10. Do not rub or pick the treated area while it is healing. Be gentle to yourself.
