Our Roots

TATTOO AFTERCARE:

Remove bandage after one hour and wash gently with mild unscented soap

-Pat dry with soft towel and air dry about 10 mins

-Apply a thin layer of the A&D ointment or Aquaphor

-Continue applying the ointment in thin layers as the tattoo dries out for 24-48 hours DO NOT REBANDAGE

-The healing process is a very important part of keeping your tattoo looking great -After the 24-48 hours switch to a NON FRAGRANCE lotion. (A&D does not allow the tattoo to breath during the healing process and can delay or hinder healing.)

-Keep the tattoo moist by applying lotion when the tattoo is dry for approximately 2 to 3 weeks DO NOT soak your tattoo in water (pools, hot tubs, bathtubs, ocean, etc...) DO NOT use petroleum jelly, bacitracin, neosporine or any antibiotic ointment on your tattoo DO NOT expose your tattoo to direct sunlight during the healing process (including tanning beds) DO NOT pick or scratch any scabbed or peeling skin Remember- the sun destroys tattoos over time. Always use a high-quality sunscreen during outdoor activities to keep your tattoo looking its best.
