DAY 1
1 When you arrive home after a tattoo session, the first thing to do is to remove any coverings placed on the tattoo. Do not keep the wrap on the tattoo. Gently wash it with water, preferably not hot, using antibacterial or normal glycerine soap. Avoid using anything that is strongly fragranced, as it may irritate the skin. If you accidentally use something fragranced, it's not a big deal, but be aware it may cause irritation. After showering, do not rub the tattoo with a towel or cloth. Instead, gently tap the tattoo to dry it off.
2 The second step is to avoid touching the tattoo against anything for approximately two hours after taking a shower. No clothes, dogs, or kids should be touching or tapping it. You should also avoid touching it and going outside to avoid getting dust or dirt on it. Do not press it against furniture. Let it dry up and allow the skin to create a protective layer on top. After two hours, you are free to put on clothing and gently touch it, although it is recommended that you don't. Do not apply ointment on the same day as the procedure.
DAY 2 and beyond
Make sure to apply ointment to your tattoo at least three times a day (morning, mid-day, and before bed). Check it often to ensure that there is a slight layer of moisture on top. Avoid applying too much ointment; a thin layer is sufficient. Remember that the purpose of the ointment is to keep the skin flexible and protect the tattoo, not to promote healing.
Recommended ointments include Aquaphor, Eucerin, Tattoo Goo, and Hustle Butter. Avoid using any scented products on your tattoo for the first 10 days or until it has finished peeling.
Do not go into jacuzzis, pools, rivers, oceans, or seas as they could potentially cause an infection. Also, avoid exposing it to the sun as it may hurt and ruin the colors, or cause white areas to turn brown. If you have no other choice but to expose it to the sun, make sure you apply sun cream with a 50+ factor.
