Aftercare

TATTOO AFTERCARE WITH SARAN WRAP

1. Take off Saran Wrap after 2 hours.

2. After taking off the Saran Wrap, wash your hands with antibacterial soap (ex. Dial liquid soap), then proceed to wash your tattoo with the same soap. When washing the tattoo make sure to get off all the dried blood and plasma build up.  When you are done washing the tattoo, it should feel like your regular skin, it should NOT feel slimy or gooey. If it does, wash it again.

3. Pat the area dry with a paper towel, then air dry for 10 minutes.

4. Apply a small amount of redemption aftercare cream or an unscented lotion (ex. Lubriderm or Aveeno). When putting the aftercare cream on, make sure to work the cream into the skin. Do not just lather it on the top of the tattoo. Remember a little goes a long ways.

*****************FIRST DAY ONLY*****************

6. Sleep with the Saran Wrap overnight.

7. When you wake up, take off the Saran Wrap and repeat steps 2-4.

*****************For the next 7-10 days*************
