AFTERCARE

Follow these steps to protect your ink and help it heal clean.

Traditional

  1. Wear a bandage for approximately an hour then remove it. Then, wash your tattoo with antibacterial soap and warm water. Pat dry and apply unscented lotion sparingly.
  2. Keep tattoo clean. Wash at least twice daily, with warm water and antibacterial soap. Use unscented lotion to prevent excessive dryness. It is fine to wash in the shower or tub, but do not allow it to soak. DO NOT expose healing tattoo to swimming pools, sunlight, or anything that can hinder the healing process.
  3. DO NOT pick or scratch at any scabbing. allow it to come off on its own. Scabbing usually flakes off in 7-10 days. When healed, be sure to use high SPF sunblock when exposed to sunlight.

Saniderm

  1. After your artist applies the clear bandage, it should be left on for 3-5 days. It is normal to see a collection of blood and fluids under the bandage. If the bandage peels or is punctured and leaking occurs, you may remove the bandage.
  2. Remove the bandage in the shower SLOWLY and GENTLY under warm water to loosen the adhesive.
  3. After the bandage is removed, gently wash the tattoo with antibacterial soap and warm water. Proceed to pat dry with a towel. For the next few days, continue to wash the tattoo 2-3 daily And apply a fragrance-free moisturizer for tattoos.

Piercings

  1. Wash your hands throughly before cleaning or touching your piercing every time.
  2. Spray your piercing with sterile saline solution 3-5 times per day.
  3. Rinse with filtered water after spraying with saline AND at the end of every shower to remove traces of soap and water. Make sure to dry the piercing by patting it with a clean, disposable paper towel.

Frequently Asked Questions

We understand your concerns.

DO TATTOOS HURT? 

-The age old question! Getting a tattoo requires a needle to rapidly pierce an area of skin, depositing ink each time. That being said, there will be some level of discomfort, but "pain" depends on the individual person and their tolerance. Remember--Official Ink offers SpeedNumb! A topical anesthetic, SpeedNumb can be applied an hour before the service to "numb" the area that will be tattooed. Stop by today and let your artist know you're interested!

HOW LONG WILL MY TATTOO TAKE?

-Just like each person is unique--so is the tattoo that goes on their skin! Tattoo time is based on size, the detail of the design, and most importantly the client. A complete tattoo experience requires the artist to consult with the client, sketch/stencil the design, setup, complete the actual tattoo, and provide the client with proper aftercare directions. Given that, a tattoo can take as little as 30 minutes, or could stretch amongst days/sessions. Book a consultation with your favorite Official for more information!

WHAT SHOULD I DO TO TAKE CARE OF MY TATTOO/PIERCING (AFTERCARE)?

-After finishing your tattoo or piercing, your artist will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions. Download the Official Ink App for more information!
