Red Letter Aftercare Guide

The First 24 Hours

  • Rinse your tattoo under warm running water (shower or faucet) for about 10 minutes. Do this the first and second night right before bed to remove excess plasma and to reduce scabbing.

  • Pat dry gently with a clean paper towel - don’t rub.

Days 2-14: Moisturize + Wash Gently

  • Wash your tattoo daily with mild, fragrance-free soap. Use only your hand - no loofahs, washcloths, or rags.

  • Apply lotion 3-4 times a day (breakfast, lunch, dinner, bedtime). Use a fragrance-free name brand lotion like Mad Rabbit, Jergens, Lubriderm. Use a thin layer and apply gently.

  • DO NOT pick or scratch peeling skin. It’s part of the healing process and picking can cause scarring or color loss. 

Avoid for 3 weeks

  • No direct sunlight or tanning beds.

  • No pools, lakes, hot tubs, or baths. (Showers are fine!)

Important Reminders

  • Always wash or sanitize your hands before touching your tattoo. Skipping this step can lead to infection. 

  • Keep pets away from your fresh tattoo as best as possible. 

  • If you notice anything unusual, contact your artist or a healthcare provider.
