Tattoo Aftercare

Your tattoo’s done. Now don’t mess it up.

  • leave the bandage alone (at first)

    Jackson will tell you when to take it off — usually a few hours. Don’t rush it.

  • wash it + dry it right

    When it’s time, wash with warm water and mild, unscented soap. No scrubbing. No fancy products. Pat it dry with something clean. No bathroom floor towels.

  • moisturize — but don’t overdo it

    Use a light layer of unscented ointment or lotion. Too much = suffocated tattoo.

  • hands off

    No picking. No scratching. No peeling that flake that really looks like it wants to come off.

  • keep it out of the sun

    Your tattoo isn’t ready for sunbathing. Cover it up or stay in the shade until it’s healed.

  • no soaking

    No pools, hot tubs, baths — stick to showers until it’s fully healed.
