Here Is The Important Part

• Each time you wash the tattoo it is important to get the tattoo back to dry
• So, dry the tattoo off completely, give it a minute to weep any fluids, dry it off again
• Repeat these steps until the tattoo is completely dry
• Once the tattoo is dry, you are done for the day
• If the tattoo is not dry and you put clothes on it then the tattoo will stay wet under your clothes all day
• It is not important to wash the tattoo more than once per day
• No swimming, No sauna, No Hot tubs or anywhere your new tattoo will be exposed to prolonged moisture
• Once the tattoo starts to peel and flake like a sunburn then feel free to use lotion or Vitalitree salve
• Apply minimal amounts of lotion and ensure all lotion is completely rubbed in
• Do not expose the new tattoo to direct sunlight while healing
• After the tattoo is healed use SPF45 or better sunblock to ensure colors stay bright and crisp
