. Apply a thin layer of A+D 2-3 times a day for one day. Then switch to Lubriderm and apply 2-3 times a day as needed.
. Stay out of direct sunlight/tanning booths for at least three weeks and avoid physical activity as much as possible. Avoid soaking in a tub, sauna, jacuzzi, swimming pool, ocean, gardening and contact with animals until your tattoo is completely healed.

If you show signs or symptoms of infection such as major swelling and redness, extreme tenderness, red streaks moving from the tattoo towards your heart, elevated temperature/fever or purulent drainage from the tattoo seek medical attention immediately.

TEGADERM/ SECOND SKIN BANDAGES

(Tegaderm is a sterile, breathable, waterproof, germ-proof barrier to protect your new tattoo.
