how far out do u book?
i usually only book for the current month, bookings for the new month open up the last sunday of the current month (i.e bookings for march would open the last sunday of february)
aftercare?
you will leave with dermshield on (unless indicated otherwise due to allergies) & leave the bandage on for 3-5 days. it is waterproof so u may shower with it on
once ready to remove, pull on the bandage in the direction away from the tattoo (as u would with a command strip) *if the adhesive from the bandage remains on the skin, use a skin safe oil (i.e coconut oil) to loosen the adhesive
wash the tattoo with an unscented antibacterial soap (dial gold) & water
once dry, moisturize the tattoo with an unscented lotion (cerve/lubriderm)
how long should i wait to do things while my tatu is healing?
tattoos usually take about 1-2 months to fully heal, during this time you should avoid:
swimming in any type of treated or untreated water
direct sun exposure
direct contact with heavy chemicals
scratching or scraping the tattoo
*this would only further guarantee a healthy heal on the tattoo
touchups?
once the tattoo is fully healed, usually within 1-2 months, i offer one free touchup on my own work only
