TAKING THE BANDAGE OFF AND CLEANING YOUR TATTOO

Keep the bandage on for a minimum of 6 hours. We recommend keeping it on overnight provided the
dressing feels comfortable and secure.

Make sure your hands are clean. Use unscented antibacterial soap and avoid soap with fragrance,
moisture beads or scrubs.

1. Carefully remove the bandage and tape. If bandage sticks to the tattoo, wet it with lukewarm water
and gently slide it off. DO NOT force it off or be rough with it.

2. Make a lather in your hands with soap and warm water. No washcloths, bath towels, or sponges on
a fresh tattoo.

3. Gently clean the tattoo until all blood, ointment and plasma are removed. Rinse tattoo.

4. Pat dry with a clean towel or paper towel then allow to fully air dry. DO NOT SCRUB.

5. Once the tattoo is dry, apply a very small amount of aquaphor into your tattoo. Dab any excess off
with a clean paper towel.

CLEAN YOUR TATTOO THIS WAY ONCE OR TWICE A DAY IN THE SHOWER FOR THE FIRST 2-3 DAYS.

AFTERCARE!!!

Apply the aquaphor or unscented lotion 2-3 times a day (Remember, keep it light!) for the first 1-2 days
or until your tattoo starts to flake/peel like sunburn. When the peeling begins, switch to a regular
fragrance free lotion such as lubriderm, or any other fragrance free brand for an additional 2 weeks.

Your tattoo should be completely healed within 2-4 weeks.
Reduce the number of your daily lotion application if you notice your skin breaking out.

After the first few days, your tattoo may become itchy or begin to form flaky scabs. They will fall off on
their own, SO DO NOT PICK OR SCRATCH AT YOUR TATTOO, keep it moisturized and the scabs will
eventually dissipate.

NO SUN, NO SWIMMING, or SOAKING until the tattoo is completely healed.
Consult a physician at the first sign of infection.

Scorpio Tattoo Studio and its employees stay in contact with suppliers and ink manufacturers to be aware and up to
date on ink and material concerns and recalls. If you have an issue or information related to your tattoo please contact
us so we can assist you and make the companies responsible for manufacturing materials aware of an issue.
