Well meaning friends often have suggestions that they think will make your tattoo heal better or faster.- Usually your friends are wrong. If you have a question about a aftercare technique that someone has suggested or you have heard , Please call the shop with any questions.

Basic aftercare
-Remove the bandage  after 1 to 3 hours.
- Start applying lotion about 24 hours after you get the tattoo. Leaving it dry for this period seems to help it retain ink and color.
-We reccomend h2Ocean Tattoo aftercare products. We sell these in the shop. Un-scented un-dyed Lubriderm lotion is another good alternative. Apply the smallest possible amount to the tattooed area 3 to 4 times per day. Try to avoid applying too much lotion or it can cause your tattoo to lose ink.
-Washing your tattoo gently in the shower is good to remove excess debris and to keep it clean.


Things to avoid
-Avoid soaking or submerging your tattoo in any body of water for two weeks. This includes bathtubs, Hottubs, Swimming pools, Lakes, Rivers, and especially the ocean.
-Avoid Picking or scratching your scabs.
-avoid exposing your tattoo to sunlight. When there is ointment on your tattoo it magnifys the suns rays. The sun will fade the color in your tattoo the same way it fades the fabric on your couch. DO wear sunscrean.

 somtimes during the healing process some color can be lost due to heavy scabbing that pulls some of the ink out, or areas that would would normally have high movement like the inside of your elbow may tend to lose some ink.We will touch these areas up for free providing that you follow these aftercare instructions.
