AFTER CARE

A little dab'll do ya

The wet heal

Remove bandage within 1-2 hours – Do not leave bandage on for more than 2hrs max !

Step 1:

Have a hot shower, wash the tattoo with hot water and soap or bodywash (not an old bar of soap). Make sure all ink, blood & vaseline is Removed. Tattoo should be nice & smooth, pat dry with clean Paper towel (not bath towel!)

Step 2:

  • Make sure tattoo is totally dry then re-wrap tattoo in glad wrap. NB: during the day you must change glad wrap every 2-3 hours. Again pat dry with clean paper towel and re-wrap.
  • Always use clean hands to touch your tattoo or rub cream on
  • Before bed re-wrap tattoo in fresh glad wrap (Do not change bandage every 2 hours) & in morning repeat Step 1
  • Repeat this process for two days & nights then use Dry Heal Technique for at least 2 weeks until tattoo has totally finished scabbing & shedding
