Cleaning Solutions
A mild soap, preferably a liquid antibacterial soap such as Dial Antibacterial, and an ointment such as A & D Ointment or TattooGoomŪ.

Cleaning Instructions
The life of your tattoo is dependent upon the care it receives in the first few days.

Before cleanings wash hands thoroughly with liquid antibacterial soap and hot water. Never touch the healing tattoo with dirty hands.

Gently wash the tattoo with an antibacterial soap and water within two hours of receiving it. Be sure to remove all surface blood and excess pigments. Dry with a clean, disposable tissue or paper towel.

Apply a VERY thin coat of the ointment after washing.

Repeat this process 3-5 times a day for a week.

Once all peeling has occurred discontinue use of ointment and begin to use a mild hand lotion such as LubridermŪ.
