A tattoo created with love (& confetti) should definitely be followed by some great aftercare!
So here ya go--

moisturize daily with natural lubricants like shea butter, handmade butters or coconut/ olive/ carrot/ almond oils
and drink plenty of water!
- After (no more than) 2 hours gently wash the tattooed area with a mild anti-bacterial soap
- Pat dry with a clean paper towel
- Air dry for at least five minutes
- With clean hands, apply a thin layer of unscented Lubriderm lotion or a natural lubricant
- Repeat the process three to five times daily until dead skin flakes away
- (optional) Switch to 100% vitamin E oil, applying at least twice daily until the skin returns to normal
- NO direct sunlight for 30(+) days
- NO swimming for 30(+) days
- NO scratching or picking
- NO advice from friends
After, Aftercare for a beautiful long-lasting tattoo
Be sure to keep your skin out of DIRECT sunlight the best as you possibly can. As good as it feels, it is now your enemy (somewhat). Becoming a vampire might not be ideal for you, so please remember to utilize sunblock (recommended SPF-15 or greater for all skin types)
All year around regardless of skin type!
