Don'ts
- Never itch or scratch your tattoo! No matter how badly you want to. Tapping helps...
- Avoid any direct sunlight to your tattoo during the healing process. After healing always make sure you put sunscreen on your tattoo to avoid fading or discoloration to the art.
- Never submerge or soak your tattoo in any kind of water while it's healing.
- When or if your tattoo starts to scab over, flake, or peel... LEAVE IT ALONE and just add some lotion or aftercare to hydrate it. Don't pick at it.
- Avoid any fragrant products on the tattoo outside of anything your artist recommends. Many products contain alcohol and dyes in them and this can lead to drying or fading of the tattoos.
