The First Day
All tattoos will leave the shop wrapped in either saranwrap or Saniderm with a healing ointment applied on the tattoo. Leave saranwrap on for atleast 2 hours, Saniderm can remain on for 3-4 days. After removing saranwrap gently wash your tattoo with an unscented hand soap. Let dry and apply a thin layer of unscented, sensitive skin lotion.
Healing Process
Handpokes typically heal really well and will be a breeze. Continue washing your tattoo twice per day (morning & night) for the first 5 days, then you can reduce washing to once per day. I typically recommend a dry heal (omit the lotion) but just keep an eye, if your tattoo looks/feels dry feel free to apply a thin layer of sensitive skin lotion, aquaphor, etc.
Touchups
After two weeks of healing, if you notice any ink fall out please reach out and schedule a touchup! They're free of charge and always welcome, your tattoo is a reflection of my work and I want it looking in tip-top shape for years to come.
