Aftercare Instructions

With each tattoo session you receive a bandage of your preference and an aftercare goodie bag. The bag comes with my business card, aftercare instructions/art print, stickers, candy, Dr. Bronner's unscented soap, Tattoo Goo balm, and Tattoo Goo lotion. These are all the tools you need to successfully heal your new tattoo plus some fun goodies as a thank you from me!

REMEMBER, A BRIGHT TATTOO IS UP TO YOU!

  • Leave bandage on for a minimum of 1 hour (do not remove bandage until you are ready to clean your tattoo)
