NO DIRECT SUNLIGHT FOR 2 WEEKS (this includes tanning beds). After your tattoo is fully healed, you may apply sun block to help prevent fading.

NO IMMERSION IN WATER FOR 2 WEEKS (this includes swimming pools, hot tubs, lakes, rivers, streams, oceans or hot baths). When you shower, wash your tattoo with warm soapy water by hand, rinse, and air dry or blot with a paper towel.

HOT PACK 4 TIMES PER DAY FOR THE FIRST 3 DAYS. Run hot water (but not so hot that it burns you) on a paper towel. Wring it out and lay it on the tattoo for 15 to 30 seconds. Remove and let air dry or blot with a paper towel.

APPLY TATTOO GOO OR A&D OINTMENT AFTER EACH HOT PACK FOR THE FIRST 3 DAYS. In between your hot packs apply a light coating of Tattoo Goo or A&D if the tattoo appears dry or itches.

KEEP YOUR TATTOO MOIST WITH LUBRIDERM LOTION OR TATTOO GOO. On the fourth day stop hot packs. Continue to apply Lubriderm lotion or Tattoo Goo on a regular basis.

DO NOT LET YOU TATTOO DRY OUT AND SCAB!

DO NOT PICK, SCRATCH, OR RUB YOUR NEW TATTOO. Avoid clothing that might rub like bra straps, waistbands, socks, etc.

IF NECESSARY, APPLY STERILE NON-ADHESIVE BANDAGE.
