Tattoo After-Care

PRECAUTIONS

We Care For Your Tattoo As You Care for Yourself

* Keep the Wrap on for at least an hour- Dab Clean any seepage with a Clean Tissue Paper.

* 1st day use only CIPLADINE (Anti-microbial Ointment) twice a day. Apply this ointment on 2 times a day so that your tattoo is safe from any chance of contracting an infection.

*After the first Day when the Tattoo Starts to dry, apply Vitamin A&D / BABY-OIL. Apply this oil on 4-5 times a day so that your tattoo is always moisturized. At any given point of time it should never look dry instead there should always be a thin layer of gloss from the applied oil.

*Continue applying the Oil till the time the Tattoo completely heals you can also continue for a week after you think it’s completely healed.



DONT`S

* DO NOT expose to water the 1st day- Apply a thin layer of Vit. A&D with Clean hands before bathing.

* DO NOT apply too much ointment or oil- Whatever you apply make sure it’s always a thin layer.

* DO NOT use Vaseline or petroleum jelly under any circumstance.

* The Tattoo is bound to itch when the healing process starts. DO NOT ITCH or pick at the Scab that forms during Healing, Let the Skin fall by itself, do not Try to pull it out to hurry the process, it will only damage the tattoo.

* DO NOT use multiple products on your tattoo. It may cause chemical reactions between the ointments

* DO NOT go into pools, lakes, soak in a tub, or any body of water for 2-3 weeks. Also, don't expose your tattoo to direct sunlight while it’s healing. Once it has healed completely, remember to apply sun screen lotion on it, before going into the sun.

* During the healing process, DO NOT Gym or do stretching exercises. This may harm your tattoo. Anti-inflammatory pain relievers may reduce pain and swelling in your fresh tattoo.

* DO NOT wear any Woolen & Nylon clothes, loose cotton clothing is recommended.

* DO NOT eat very starchy foods like Potatoes, Mangoes, High Protein products, Chanas, Non-Vegetarian food or drink Alcohol. This may infect or aggravate your tattoo as these increase the heat in your body that may erupt as boils
