Aftercare
Thank you for your visit to Claw and Talon Tattoo!
We sincerely appreciate your patronage and want to remind you of some aftercare
Do's and Don'ts to ensure the best possible healing and longevity of your tattoo.

Immediately:

  1. Change or wash your bed sheets.
  2. Keep pets out of bed – pet hair and saliva can harm your tattoo.
  3. Get Curel or Lubriderm lotion for healing.
  4. If you're in a clean space, remove the bandage after an hour. If it sticks, run warm water over it. Always wash your hands before removing the bandage.
  5. If you're still out, leave the bandage on until you're home in a clean environment. Tattoos ooze plasma, and the bandage helps absorb it.
  6. Gently wash the tattoo with soap and water, removing any plasma and dead skin to avoid scabbing. Pat dry with a clean towel and let it air dry for 5-10 minutes.
After 24 Hours:
  1. Lightly apply Curel or Lubriderm. Do not re-bandage.
  2. Avoid scratching or picking at your tattoo as it heals.
  3. Healing usually takes about two weeks.
Do’s and Don’ts:
  1. Stay out of the sun and apply sunblock after it heals to prevent fading.
  2. Avoid swimming, hot tubs, and baths.
  3. Stay out of public showers and saunas to avoid bacteria.
  4. Avoid activities that make you sweat or strain the tattooed area.
If redness persists for more than 7 days or you experience unusual symptoms, contact a doctor.
