You can plan ahead and purchase your aftercare products prior to your appointment so you are prepared as soon as you get home.
You should adhere to this regimen for TWO WEEKS post-tattoo for the best healing results possible.
I recommend two products for the entire healing process: Aquaphor (healing ointment) and Dial Anti-Bacterial soap (Original liquid, in the pump). Pictured on the right -->
Remove the cotton bandage I send you home in no longer than 1-2 hours after our appointment. If you notice the bandage sticks, do not force it off. Moisten with warm water and slowly peel off.
You might not need to apply any ointment immediately. Only wash immediately if tattoo has traces of blood or excess ink and needs to be cleaned. Only apply more ointment if tattoo feels dry or tight.
