After and before care information
Aftercare is one of the most important parts of getting a tattoo. Having a good aftercare system will help keep your tattoo looking good for years to come! Below I will explain my recommendations for aftercare and general tips to be prepared for a tattoo!
Preparing for a tattoo
Preparing yourself and your skin for a new tattoo!
I highly recommend at least a week before, begin regularly exfoliating and moisturizing your skin if you don’t already. Drinking plenty of water and doing your best to stay out of the sun/no tanning.
The day before try your best to stay away from substances like drugs and alcohol. Having a good nights rest and a clear mind is always a plus! Please try to eat a big meal before your appointment, stay hydrated, and always feel free to bring snacks and or candy to have during your appointment!
If you have questions, comments or concerns with the aftercare process please feel free to reach out to me!
Aftercare Instructions
Ensure you have throughly washed your hands before caring for your tattoo.
Remove bandage applied to your tattoo, and begin washing with provided Dr. Bronners unscented soap or a mild unscented soap of your choice. Wash thoroughly and ensure no soap is left on your tattoo.
Dab area dry with clean paper towel, do not wipe, but ensure tattoo is dry before completing next step.
Apply provided Witch’s Butter or unscented lotion of your choosing directly to your tattoo. A thin layer Is perfect, be wary of over moisturizing !
Repeat these steps 2-3 times a day while your tattoo is healing, recommended in the morning and at night.
DO NOT- Go tanning, or expose your new tattoo to high levels of UV. Keep out of the sun the best you can!
DO NOT- Submerge your tattoo in water of any kind at all. Avoid swimming, baths, hot tubs, etc.
DO reach out to me if you have any questions at all or if you find your tattoo needs a touch up! Rabbitfoottattoo@gmail.com
A reminder that I provide free aftercare kits in hopes of making the process easier for you, however you are not at all required to use it in order to heal your tattoo! I also recommend reusing your soap bottle for future tattoos!
