Congratulations on your beautiful new dream piece! Now what? Brooke does not use sanidrm, second skin or adhesive bandages on tattoos. She uses good old school saran wrap as a barrier over your new piece! Please make sure to keep this on as long as you an after your appointment. All night is preferred.

Wash your hands before taking off your barrier and use antibacterial, fragrance free soap to wash your new ink. Great recommendations are Dial Gold, or just plain old Dawn Dish Soap!

Allow your tattoo to air dry & pat with a paper towel to finish. NO CLOTH TOWELS! They still harbor bacteria, even after washing.

After washing, apply a THIN layer of ointment aftercare to the tattoo 2-5 times a day. How many times depends on your body. If it’s itchy, it’s dry so moisturize. You will be sent home with Hustle Butter and that is what’s used during your tattoo as well. You can purchase this product online but you may use any other fragrance free lotion you already own. Absolutely no petroleum based product and NO A&D!

Your skin will take 2-3 weeks to heal on the top layer but another 2-4 months for the deeper layers of skin to repair. Please continue moisturizing and limit sun exposure during this remaining time.

IF YOU HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS PLEASE REACH OUT & I WILL BE HAPPY TO HELP. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A STUPID QUESTION WHEN IT COMES TO YOUR HEALTH!
