Day 3
Same thorough washing ritual as Day two.
NO oils, ointments or lotion! Keep it Clean. Let it Breathe~
No more plastic wrap at night for the remaining period of healing.
Continue to keep your new Tattoo clean! Wash your hands and wash your Tattoo. VERY SPARINGLY, you can use a small amount of coconut oil or unscented lotion if its itchy and needs a bit more flexibility.
Keep it Clean, let it Breathe- letting it be a bit more dry is a good thing.
NO Direct SUNLIGHT for a full month. After fully healed, sunscreen is a good idea for the longevity of your Art.
Be GENTLE. No over stretching especially in bendy areas. If you scab, leave the scab on as long as it takes to fall off naturally. Picking at your tattoo results in loss of pigment.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to give the studio a call~
