    Proper aftercare ensures your tattoo heals well and retains its vibrancy. Here are general aftercare instructions:

    • Leave the bandage on for a few hours after your tattoo.

    • Gently wash your tattoo with lukewarm water and mild, fragrance-free soap.

    • Pat it dry with a clean towel and apply a thin layer of recommended ointment.

    • Avoid submerging your tattoo in water (baths, pools, etc.) for at least two weeks.

    • Keep your tattoo out of direct sunlight, and avoid scratching or picking at it while it heals.
