After 2-3 hours, remove bandage carefully (if it sticks, wet bandage and remove slowly).
Once uncovered, wash with warm mild soap and water (using fingertips), then wash three times per day for the next 7-14 days.
Use Curel (original fragrance free) or Eucerin (fragrance free) hand lotion. Apply a very thin layer twice a day to prevent your tattoo from drying out. If it feels dry and tight, apply the lotion. (If you put it on too heavy you will lose color and definition. If it looks like it is bleeding or dripping, it is too thick).
If rash occurs, discontinue the use of the lotion and call Good Omen Tattoo.
After a few days, it is perfectly normal for the skin on the tattoo to take on a cloudy appearance, followed by peeling for a short while (like a sunburn).
Never peel or pick any part of your tattoo. If you do, you will lose color and it could result in additional expense in re-coloring. Any loose skin will work itself off without any help from you.
DO NOT use alcohol to clean tattoo.
DO NOT rub or scratch (if it itches, give sharp slap).
DO NOT let tattoo dry out.
DO NOT expose to direct sunlight or tanning beds for two weeks. (After two weeks, you may use a sun block of a minimum SPF 30 to prevent burning or color fading of your tattoo).
DO NOT soak tattoo in sauna, steam bath, or bathtub for two weeks (yes, you may shower).
DO NOT allow water to beat directly onto the tattoo while showering for at least one week.
AVOID CHLORINE!!! No swimming in pools, lakes, rivers, or oceans for at least two weeks.
Keep tattoo clean. and above all else use common sense. keep all strenuous activities minimal.
Stay away from dirt, unclean animals, and any other bacterial risks for at least two weeks.
If you have any signs of infection, redness, swelling, fever, or discharge from site, contact your doctor.
DO NOT listen to friends. Your friends are most likely not professional tattoo artists.
