Once tattoo is completed the artist will cover it with zeram wrap. Keep the zeram wrap on for 1 hour at least but no more than 5.  Once you remove it never again through use this through out the healing process. The tattoo needs to breath to heal that being said the only thing you can wear over the tattoo through out the healing process is clothing, just make sure it’s nothing that’s going to scrub against the tattoo, irritating the skin and compromising the healing process. Now that you removed the Zeram wrap wash your hands then wash, once washed and clean you’ll wash your tattoo with warm water & anti bacterial soap by using your fingertips or hands, the warmer the water the better. Wash off  all the blood and ointment that was left behind on top of your skin and make sure its clean.  Once fully washed pat down the tattoo with a clean paper towel until it is dry, than apply a super thin coat over your tattoo of Aquaphore Ointment, just remember you want to make sure its a THIN coat, a heavy coat will ruin your tattoo & compromise the healing process and trust me when I say THIN I mean super thin coats, the thinner the better.  Repeat this process of washing & applying ointment to the tattoo about 3 to 4 times a day for the next 4 to 5 days then stop.  After that you will start using a non-scented lotion for about 3 to 4 weeks (apply it when skin looks dry, I would say at least twice a day).  Do not submerge your tattoo under water for 2 weeks from the moment your tattoo was completed.  Huge quantities of water have tons of bacteria.  Showering is fine, just make sure to avoid scrubbing the tattoo, best way to wash it  is gently with your hands or finger tips so that your skin doesn’t get irritated through out this process.  You want to be super nice & gentle to your tattoo for a good month.  No sun tanning, no tanning beds, no tanning at all,  avoid direct sunlight on your tattoo for a full month , if your slow at healing possibly even longer.  Usually after the first week the skin on your tattoo could start to peal, its like when you get a suntan, once it starts healing your skin peals at times, similar to this affect,  it’s totally normal, do not help it peel let it naturally peel for a good healing.  At this stage your tattoo can get itchy, make sure not to itch it! best thing you can do to calm itching is apply some lotion on your tattoo, and you can even lightly slap it, sounds funny but it works!. .  Make sure not to sleep on it thru the healing process, we want to avoid irritating the skin.
