Cling/Plastic Wrap For Immediate Care
Once our professionals are done with a tattoo, we apply a clean and sterile plastic wrap to prevent the delicate inked area from dust bunnies, germs and moisture. It is important to keep on the wrap for at least 2-5 hours. This will heal your skin as well. After that, gently wash the area with a glycerin-free soap and lukewarm water. Do not rub; instead, pat dry. This can help prevent potential infection or itching. Proper aftercare ensures a quick healing process while elevating your entire experience.
Important Things to Remember:
-
Do not use chemically-laden products for washing the area. Instead, use mild soap
-
Never scratch or pick at your ink
-
Use recommended ointment to moisture the area
-
Avoid direct sunlight or use 50++ sunscreen
