Leave the Bandage

Your artist took the care to cover up your new tattoo for a very good reason – to keep air-borne bacteria from invading your wound. Yes, as pretty as your new tattoo is, it is still a wound. Open flesh is a breeding ground for bacteria and infection.

Leave the bandage on for a minimum of two hours. Excitement of having a new tattoo will make you want to remove the bandage so you can show your friends, but your friends will just have to wait until later.

protection from the sun And using sunblock

After your tattoo is healed, from now on, you will always want to protect it from the sun’s ultraviolet rays. These can fade and damage your tattoo! Protect the tattoo with a minimum of 30SPF sun block. This will keep your tattoo vibrant for years!

Dealing with Water (swimming, bathing, etc)

Yes, you can (and should) shower with a tattoo! Submerging your tattoo in a bath or hot tub can cause serious INFECTION AND DAMAGE! Wait at least 2-3 weeks for the tattoo to fully heal. Swimming in a pool should also be avoided for 2-3 weeks.
