In my experience, the ointment WILL lighten the color IF you use it for the entire healing process.  I do not oppose other healing processes but these are the ones I have used and know work.

The truth is, if you wash the tattoo and do not mess with it in the healing process, your tattoo SHOULD heal just fine on its own.  Some people feel the need to do something to it so here are some suggestions on how to help your tattoo heal!

I am NOT A DOCTOR, so please don’t take this as medical advice.

*Remove the bandage on for 2 to 4 hours

*DO NOT RE-BANDAGE.

*With clean hands wash the tattoo with unscented antibacterial soap and water

*Continue to wash 2 times a day until tattoo is healed. Showering is fine, But DO NOT soak in the bath tube.

Apply a very small amount of ointment 2 times a day for the first 2 to 3 days

*Ointments suggestions are Neosporin or A & D

*Do not over apply ointment, blot off excess with a clean paper towel

*Do not use ointment more than 3 days

On the 3 rd or 4th day switch to an unsented lotion and apply 2 or three times per day until the tattoo is completely healed.

* Unscented lotions suggestions are Lubiderm, Curel or Eucerin

Avoid

tight clothing while your tattoo is healing

Avoid

the gym, saunas and locker rooms for about a week.

DO NOT

expose the new tattoo to the sun, ocean, hot tube, or swimming pool for two weeks.

Do Not

use a friends alterative healing method.

*As your tattoo heals you may notice some itching and flaking, this is normal, however if you feel that something is abnormal during the healing process please contact us by phone or stop into the shop.

*Some people are sensitive to certain ointments and lotions, if you are talk to your tattoo artist about an alternative
