- Carefully remove the bandage and gently wash the tattoo with mild soap and water.

Week 1 Tattoo Care
- Cleanse your tattoo twice daily with soap and water.
- Always pat dry with a fresh towel.

Week 2 Tattoo Care
- Wash your tattoo at least once daily.
- Combat itchiness or dryness by applying a modest amount of Bepanthen cream or pure coconut oil (make sure your hands are clean).
