Care & After Care Page 2
Be sure clothing touching your tattoo is clean and soft.
" A tattoo is considered a minor surgery. It may bleed a bit at first, but will stop within a couple
of hours. Most artist recommended the tattoo be kept bandaged overnight or for at least two to
five hours. If the gauze sticks to the skin, soak the area with cool water until the gauze loosens
then remove it carefully.
Once the ink is exposed , wash it carefully in cold water. Gently apply antibacterial soap using
your fingers ( never a cloth) to remove all surface blood and ooze. Rinse with cold water, pat dry
with a clean towel & let air dry for 15 minutes. Then gently and sparingly apply a thin layer of
"Tattoo Goo salve".
Repeat 3 or 4 times a day for 7 to 10 days. After 5 to 14 days the tattoo may start to peel,( this is
normal, like a sunburn.) and scab over. Do Not pick or peel the skin away. Let it fall off
naturally during the washing or application of "Tattoo Go". Fresh skin will soon replace the dead
skin. Your colors may fade during this process, but will return when the healing is completed.
"Tattoo Goo" salve and lotion keep your tattoos from drying the skin soft and moist.
Always apply sparingly... Too much prevents the skin / ink from breathing & can cause bleaching
of colors. If this happens, discontinue use,wash the tattoo, pat dry and consult your Inksomnia
Tattoo artist at your earliest convenience. After a few weeks all scabbing will be gone, but the
area may still be a little sensitive. Continue regular cleaning and application of Tattoo Goo ( the
Original or The Lotion ) for proper aftercare of your tattoo. Exposure the sun is a major cause of
ink fading, but after a few months you may sunbathe in moderation. Always use sun block ( at
least SPF 30 that provides UVA & UVB protection ) If you experience any reaction to Tattoo
Goo, discontinue use & consult your Inksomnia Tattoo artist."
