Wash your hands with Gold Dial Soap or any unscented antibacterial. Clean them throughly for at least 30 seconds. Once your hands are clean, put some soap in the palm of your clean hand, and rub it into your tattoo.

Be sure to apply plenty of soap before rinsing off with warm water. Repeat this process up to two times a day for the next three days. After that start to apply a thin layer of unscented dry skin lotion up to three times a day, or as needed. Make sure whatever lotion you use is WATER BASED.

It is very important to avoid any lotions or ointments that are petroleum based. Petroleum products will cause healing complications and cause the healing to take longer.
