Aftercare

Tattoos

After care of your tattoo is soooooo effin crucial .. Its not too hard either.. here imanna show u guys how to right now!!

1..K you start by cleaning it!!!!!! First you must wash your hands  that way you don’t get your crummy germs on the clean tattoo .. 

2.Try anti-bacterial soap even hand soap will do , hey its probably already in the bathroom!! check that out!

3. K after you have lathered rinsed and done this in a repetitive manner. air dry your tattoo .. this is very important because your tattoo needs to breath as well as be clean at all times.

4. After your tattoo is dry apply your moisturizer wether it be (unscented) lotion, tattoo balm, Aquaphor, A+D ointment whatever it is it really doesn’t matter as long as your tattoo is moist…. not drenched beyond recognition, just moist which means a light coat of whatever you put on it .. it doesn’t even have to be glossy just moist , try massaging it in for a couple minutes .. then ya got it!

5. After a week of this ridiculous procedure, the top layer of dead skin on your tattoo will peel.. and i mean peel not scab not flake, peel meaning if it was moist it would roll up and fall off when you took a shower. ….” Yes you can take a shower just don’t put hard soap on the tattoo directly, but if it does get on there don’t freak out nothings going to happen trust me”!

6. Okay last but certainly not least .. after your tattoo has peeled you can go ahead and just use lotion for the next week and you should be good . Remember to keep your tattoo out of the sun for that first couple of weeks, treat it like an open wound! And definitely don”t surf in Venice!! Keep sunblock on your colored tattoos if you want it to stay  bright beach bums!! It does suck but thats how it works .. if you don’t want to do it get black and grey !!always helps
