Always wash your hands before touching your fresh tattoo.
Avoid going to the gym/working out for the first 2-3 days of getting a tattoo.
No swimming, saunas, tanning or soaking for 2-3 weeks (expected healing time).
Tattoo will be itchy over the next few days. Do not scratch or pick your new tattoo!
Once your tattoo is fully healed, apply SPF 30+ when going out in the sun.
If you have any questions, please reach out to your artist.
