Leave the bandage on for at least 4 hrs but no longer than 12 hrs. Remove the bandage and wash the tattoo with warm water using your clean hand and Dial Gold antibacterial soap only. Use a clean paper towel and dab dry. Extra ink may transfer to the paper towel, this is completely normal. Let air dry for 10 min. Put a thin coat of Aquaphor or a natural ointment (Shea Butter, Coconut Oil, Cocoa Butter) on the tattoo. The tattoo with ointment should look like your normal clean hydrated skin. If the tattoo is gloopy or soggy you have too much ointment on it and need to dab off the excess with a clean paper towel. Wash, dry and re apply ointment in the morning, once during the day and before bed daily. Make sure to keep your ointment near when the tattoo goes through the dry and flakey stage.
DO NOT soak in water (quick showers are fine), pick, or suntan.
DO NOT listen to what your friends tell you.
