Here is a list of common questions that our clients ask us. If you need more information don’t hesitate to get in touch with us.

How do I keep my new tattoo looking great for years?

Your tattoo takes 2-4 weeks to heal. During this time, gently wash the tattoo every night and apply lotion to keep the skin soft. We recommend wrapping with plastic for the first hour of being done.

Should I Put Vaseline (Petroleum Jelly) On New Tattoos?

NO. When applying a thick layer of vaseline onto a tattoo, it will create a moist, humid pocket of trapped air between the vaseline and the skin, which is actually the perfect environment for germs and bacteria, vulnerable to potential infections. Vaseline has actually been known to draw ink out of skin, potentially creating areas of fading and patchiness.

What should I do before coming in for a tattoo??

Eat. No, seriously – your body will be releasing endorphins during the tattoo process, so you want to have stable blood sugar. Also, avoid any alcohol, aspirin, or caffeine before being tattooed.
