| The Care and Feeding of your
! NEW TATTOO !
Rule #1 DO NOT LISTEN TO YOUR SO CALLED TATTOO FRIENDS!!
If
they knew that much about it they would be a tattooist.
Rule #2
DO NOT REMOVE THE BANDAGE UNTIL YOUR NEXT SHOWER!!
The tattoo
will be on you for life, your friends can see it anytime other
than today as many times as you want to show them.
Step #1
When you remove the bandage, wash the tattoo in the
shower with warm water until it becomes squeaky clean (get rid
of the slimy stuff). Blot it dry when you get out of the shower
with a towel.
Step #2
After the shower allow the tattoo to air
dry. Do not re-bandage or medicate the tattoo. Make sure to wash
the area twice a day (morning and night).
Step #3
On the 3rd
day, after washing the tattoo, wait 15-20 minutes and apply a
thin coat of medication called AQUAPHORE (DO NOT USE PETROLEUM
JELLY) for 3-5 times daily for 4 days.
Step #4
After the 4 days
switch over to a UNSCENTED PLAIN SKIN LOTION such as Vaseline
Deep Moisturizer Cream. Apply a thin coat 3-5 times daily
(Whenever it’s dry!)
Step #5
Repeat STEP #4 for 2-3weeks; apply
a thin coat of lotion whenever the tattoo is dry.
Following
these steps will make the healing process much faster
DO NOT PICK THE SCABS, AVOID EXPOSURE TO THE SUN, AND DO NOT
SUBMERGE UNDER WATER UNTIL THE TATTOO IS HEALED!!! |
