Always use clean hands and do not place your fingers back into the ointment after touching your tattoo. Make sure to apply the ointment sparingly; you want the thinnest amount possible. Remove any excess ointment with a clean cloth or paper towel. Do not use Vaseline, Neosporin, triple antibiotic, petroleum or Bag Balm. Wash, dry and apply ointment 3-4 times daily, or as needed.
• After day 4-5 your tattoo will begin to peel/flake. This is totally normal! Do not pick or roll the skin. During this time begin using a mild, white, unscented lotion like Lubriderm, free of dyes or perfumes. Use lotion for minimum 2 weeks, 2-4 times daily.
