Do This
Remove bandage in 1 to 2 hours. Wash hands with soap and warm water for 30 seconds, then with clean hands. Gently wash tattoo with soap and water rinse, pat dry with a clean towel and air-dry a few minutes.
After cleaning, gently apply extremely thin layer of OINTMENT more is not better. Repeat 2 or 3 times a day as needed for the next 2 days.
It is suggested you switch to using LOTION.
Suggested lotions: Lubriderm, Curel, or a non-scented lotion. Lotion keeps your tattoo from drying out. Always apply sparingly. Too much prevents the skin/tattoo from breathing.
The new tattoo should be exposed to the air as much as possible. The more exposure, the faster it will heal.
Sun Screen is recommended for the optimal life of the tattoo.
