Do’s and Don’ts

DO:
1. Unwrap the tattoo within 2 hours after leaving the studio.
2. Wash your hands thoroughly before washing your tattoo with unscented soap.
3. Let your tattoo air dry for 5-10 minutes.
4. Apply unscented lotion or Mad Rabbit Soothing Gel to the tattoo.

Repeat steps 2-4, at least twice a day, for the next two weeks or until fully healed.

It's normal for the tattoo to be: itchy, flaky, sore, and/or swollen for up to a week.

DON'T:
• Do not scratch your tattoo
• Do not submerge your tattoo under water
• Do not expose the tattoo to direct sunlight
• Do not rewrap your tattoo, it needs to breathe!

NOTE:
It might look like some ink comes off when you wash a fresh tattoo for the first time. Don't be concerned! This is normal ink loss from extra ink and plasma on top of the skin.

It is okay to do light exercise with a fresh tattoo but rest is recommended!
