Tiger Lotus Tattoo and Body Piercing

Recommended aftercare for a new tattoo

Keep wrapped with Saniderm for 5 days.
The morning of day 6, carefully remove the wrap (peel slowly and use lotion or oil to get off if needed)

After removing wrap, wash with liquid soap (Baby soap, Liquid Dove, or a plain liquid soap with no dyes or perfumes). Liquid soap only. Do Not use bar soap.
Pat dry with clean, dry paper towel (regular towel will leave lint which can increase risk of infection).

On the week 2 or 3 (depending on when it is mostly healed) you may apply a small amount of lotion (Lubriderm, Eucerin or a plain lotion with no dyes or perfumes,). Rub in really well. After applying lotion, wait 5-10 minutes, and then look at the area in the light, if it’s shiny then there is too much lotion. Blot off excess lotion with a paper towel.

DO NOT USE VASELINE, NEOSPORIN, BACITRACIN, BEES WAX, AQUAFOR, A&D, COCONUT OIL OR LANOLIN PRODUCTS
