Tattoo Aftercare
1. About an hour after receiving your tattoo, carefully remove the bandage. Gently wash your new tattoo with warm water and a mild anti-bacterial soap. DO NOT RE-BANDAGE!
2. Apply a thin layer of A&D Ointment or Bacitracin Ointment for the next 5 days. Apply as many times as necessary to keep the tattoo looking shiny. DO NOT LET TATTOO DRY OUT!
3. After the 5th day you can switch to a good hand lotion. Make sure it is fragrance and aloe free. Again DO NOT LET TATTOO DRY OUT!
4. Stay out of direct sunlight or any tanning apparatus until tattoo is completely healed. 7-10 days at least. Sunlight will always fade any tattoo, even after it is healed. The more you can use sun block on your tattoos or keep them out of the sun, the longer they will be vibrant and bright.
5. Do not soak your new tattoo. Prolonged soaking in tubs, pools, saunas, hot tubs or jacuzzis. Showers are ok and necessary.
6. Do not rub or pick at your new tattoo at any time. Blemishes, loss of color or infection may occur.
7. Your tattoo should be completely healed in 2 weeks. Consult a physician if any of these signs or symptoms develop: Excessive redness or excessive swelling, green or yellow, fouling smelling discharge and/or fever.

Piercing Aftercare
1. We recommend all piercings be cleaned and maintained with H2Ocean Piercing spray. It is available here at the shop for $12.00.
2. Use H2Ocean 3-6 times a day, for the next 3-6 months. Spray it directly onto the piercing.

5. Do not remove jewelry. New piercings can close in a matter of seconds sometimes.
