1. Remove bandage in 2 hours.

2. Gently hand wash the tattoo with warm soap and water until all of the dried blood , ointment, etc. is gone. No loofa pads or washcloths!

3. Pat dry. Do Not Rub the tattoo dry.

4. Apply a VERY THIN layer of Regular A&D Ointment. Stay away from Zinc Oxide A&D. A&D can be found in the baby care section of drug stores and Grocery stores. Applying the ointment too thick will pull ink out of the tattoo and cause scabbing. Keep it a very thin layer.

5. Cover with a non-stick pad. Always keep the tattoo covered after applying A&D ointment. If you don't keep it covered the ointment will be rubbed off by your clothes, the tattoo will become dry & scab, and you will lose color.

6. Repeat steps 4 & 5 three/four times a day, for a week.

7. Don't be alarmed by small flakes of colored skin transfering to the bandage, it's normal.

8. After about a week the tattooed skin will become dry. You can stop with the A&D and apply a good skin moisturizer such as Vaseline Intensive careas often as you want.

9. Stay away from Hot Tubs, Swimming Pools, Lakes, Creeks, Rivers, Oceans, and baby pools full of chocolate pudding for at least 2 weeks. Don't soak the tattoo in a bath tub either.
