AFTERCARE INSTRUCTIONS FOR TATTOOS

  1. Remove bandage 2-5 hours after your tattoo is finished. Don’t remove the bandage until you can properly clean your tattoo using lukewarm water and a mild antibacterial soap.

  2. Wash tattoo off 2-3 times a day with a mild antibacterial soap. Wash hands first to remove dirt, and then your tattoo with the soap. Rinse tattoo thoroughly with water, then pat dry with clean cloth or paper towel. (DO NOT RUB) 

  3. Allow tattoo to air dry for about 10-15 minutes after washing. Apply small amount of Griffin or unscented plain white hand lotion to the tattoo 2-3 times a day until the tattoo is fully healed.  Massage Griffin or lotion into the skin to keep the tattoo slightly moist but not smothered. (DO NOT USE VASELINE OR NEOSPORIN) 

  4. NEVER pick at the scabs. Wear loose clothing until healed. DO NOT submerge the tattoo in water. Limit yourself to short showers until the tattoo is healed. It is also important that a fresh tattoo be protected from the sunlight and dirty environments, as it is still an open wound. All normal water and sun activities can usually be resumed after 2 weeks. Do NOT use sunscreen at all during the healing process.

  5. How you take care of your new tattoo will determine the final product. Take care of your investment. We back our work with a 100% Guarantee. Touch Up’s are FREE for life with Griffin purchase.
