Tattoo Aftercare Assistance
Step-by-Step Instructions
-
Wash Hands: Always wash your hands thoroughly with soap before touching your tattoo.
-
Clean Tattoo: Gently wash the tattooed area with lukewarm water and a mild, fragrance-free antibacterial soap (like Dial).
-
Pat Dry: Gently pat the tattoo dry with a clean, lint-free paper towel; avoid fabric towels.
-
Apply Hustle Butter: Massage a small, thin layer of Hustle Butter, Recovery, Mad Rabbit or TaeTu into the skin until it's barely shiny or absorbed; less is more.
-
Repeat: Do this 2-3 times a day for the first few days, and continue as needed until healed.
-
Wear Loose Clothes: Protect your tattoo with clean, loose, breathable clothing.
What to Avoid
-
Picking/Scratching: Let flakes fall off naturally.
-
Soaking: No baths, pools, or hot tubs; showers are okay.
-
Sunlight: Keep fresh tattoos out of direct sun.
-
Petroleum Jelly: Avoid heavy petroleum-based products that can trap bacteria.
