This bandage is there to keep\u00a0 airborne bacteria &amp; other contaminants in the environment from invading the wound.<br \/><br \/>\u2022 Remove the bandage and wash your tattoo (using clean hands) with Dial antibacterial soap and warm water.<br \/><br \/>\u2022 DO NOT RE-BANDAGE YOUR TATTOO!<br \/><br \/>\u2022 Wait 24-48 hours after removing your bandage to begin applying white unscented hand lotion twice a day. (Do not apply lotion more than three times per day.)<br \/><br \/><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>FOR THE NEXT 7-14 DAYS YOUR TATTOO WILL PEEL, FLAKE AND SCAB LIGHTLY. DO NOT PICK YOUR TATTOO!<\/strong><\/span><br \/><br \/><strong>FIVE THINGS TO AVOID:<\/strong><br \/><br \/>1. ADVICE: Your friends do not tattoo for a living. If you have any questions please call us.<br \/><br \/>2. SOAKING: Normal showers are permitted but DO NOT SOAK THE TATTOO! Avoid pools, spas, Jacuzzi or hot tubs, the beach and baths until the tattoo is healed.<br \/><br \/>3. SUN: Avoid the sun completely until your tattoo is healed. Afterward always use sunblock when your tattoo is exposed.<br \/><br \/>4. OINTMENT: DO NOT USE lotions with aloe, A&amp;D ointment, Vaseline, Bacitracin, Micatracin, Neosporin or triple antibiotic ointment. (Any scent &amp; dye free hand lotion or cocoa butter is sufficient)<br \/><br \/>5. THE MOST IMPORTANT RULE IS: DO NOT LET ANYONE TOUCH YOUR TATTOO! Contact with others puts you at risk for infection.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-22765609 elementor-widget__width-initial
