Aftercare

Keep it
sharp

Tattoo aftercare in Sarasota means planning around sun, salt water and pools. A new tattoo is a wound before it's art, and the first two weeks shape how it looks for years.

  1. 01
    Leave the wrap on 2–4 hours
    Then wash gently with unscented soap and lukewarm water. Pat dry, never rub.
  2. 02
    Thin layer of ointment, 3x a day
    Aquaphor or another fragrance-free ointment. Thin enough that the skin can breathe.
  3. 03
    No soaking for two weeks
    Showers are fine. Pools, the Gulf, hot tubs and baths are not.
  4. 04
    Keep it out of the sun
    No direct sun until fully healed, then SPF 50 for life. Sun is what fades ink.
  5. 05
    Do not pick or scratch
    Peeling and light itching are normal. Slap it, don't scratch it.
