1. Remove the plastic wrap after 1 hour.
2. Wash your new tattoo with warm water and mild hand soap. Then rinse with cold water.
3. Allow your tattoo to air-dry. Do not pat or wipe dry. Apply an ice pack for 20 minutes. When the skin is dry to the touch, apply a THIN layer of Aquaphor.
4. On the following morning, wash, rinse, dry & reapply Aquaphor again.
5. Wash & moisturize your tattoo 3 times a day. Keeping it CLEAN and hydrated will help it heal much faster and with better results.
