2. Take the bandage off tomorrow morning. Use a gentle, fragrance-free soap and warm water to clean the tattoo twice a day.

3. Apply a thin layer of fragrance-free lotion, or ointment to keep the area moisturized and promote healing.

4. Once the tattoo is healed always apply sunscreen with a a high SPF when exposing it to sunlight.

5. Don’t scratch, pick at scabs, or apply harsh chemicals or products to the tattooed area.

6. Wear loose clothing that won’t rub against the tattoo.
