Aftercare 

Always limit sun exposure before and after getting tattooed. I cannot tattoo on sun damaged skin. Harsh sun on any tattoo, fresh or healed, will lighten the tattoo considerably and diminish detail. 

​

Applying lotion to the tattoo area a few days  pre-tattoo session will aid in skin saturation and is much appreciated.

After the session, a thin bandage will be applied to the tattoo. It is transparent and waterproof.  You will be able to shower with it on but refrain from taking baths or swimming.  I recommend to keep the bandage on for three days. On the third day remove the rap in the shower or under the faucet.  Wash the tattoo gently with unscented  soap. 

My tattoos typically heal in 1 to 2 weeks. During this time keep the piece shielded from sunlight and abrasion. Apply a small amount of lotion throughout the day to the tattoo after removing the bandage.  Keep an eye on heavily saturated areas and bold line work which is more prone to flaking.
