Touch Ups & After Care
You'll have 1 month to book your touch up, after that it will go case by case and with my best discretion.
Hands, feet and necks will at minimum need to pay a set up fee of $80, these will depend on the level of rework needed to be done as these areas are known for fall out, blowout and are always discussed before hand. As your artist before I even began the session all known issues with these areas were discussed in full detail before proceeding.
After Care Instructions
• The second skin can be left on for 3-5 days. Certain areas and tattoos may differ. Certain jobs and seasons will also play a role in how long to leave the second skin on.
• If the second skin gets too close to the tattoo remove it, I would say about an inch or so. If any of the plasma/ink is coming out of the bandage also remove it. If theres an air bubble, that's ok sometimes they'll work themselves out, if it should pop remove the bandage.
• If it should come off sooner that's ok as well just follow the cleaning protocols. If you do remove the bandage sooner, please do so with the utmost care and patience.
• Remember before touching your tattoo to wash your hands first!
• Other bandaging can stay on for 1-2 hours and please follow the procedure from here:
• Remove the bandage in the shower or by using warm water and pull as close and slowly to the skin as possible. This helps to avoid the ink being pulled out. Be very patient. Do not put directly under water, splash small amounts on it.
• After the bandage is removed, use warm water and non scented soap. Soap should be in a pump bottle, avoid bars of soap. Very gently wash your tattoo and rinse thoroughly.
• Gently pat dry with paper towel. Your tattoo should be thoroughly dried.
• Do not rub dry. Do not use towels, tissues or cotton balls.
• Do this twice a day, for 3-4 weeks. When you notice it starting to dry up, get itchy, and or flakey add a very thin layer of vitamin e lotion, non scented as well. Some pieces may take longer or shorter to become scabby, itchy or flakey. Use caution about putting lotion on too soon.
• Do not reuse the second skin or the bandage you were originally given. Do not rewrap unless you have been otherwise advised and guided.
• Continue to keep it clean until fully healed!
• Avoid getting shampoo or scented soaps on it while showering. Avoid the gym, pools, and working out. Avoid exposure to the sun and any soaking like baths or hot tubs, lakes, oceans, wear loose fitting clean clothing, clean bedding is also highly recommended. Do not pick at the tattoo as it can pull out the ink. Avoid wool or scratchy clothing. Do not let anyone or pets touch the tattoo. Do not wear sunscreen until fully healed.
• I highly recommend using products like Trisan or Citaphil for washing, and Webber vitamin e lotion for healing.
• Avoid using Aveeno body wash/gels and Gold Bond Lotions, as they do contain ingredients like Dimethicone. This can form a barrier sealing in oil, sweat, dirt and moisture. Your tattoo needs to breathe, over moisturizing or using products like these can affect the healing of your tattoo.
Please let me know if you have any questions!
