Field protocol // 3 phases

Survive the heal

  1. [01]Protocol:Days 1 to 3

    Defend the wound

    That needle just chewed up your skin. For the first three days the tattoo is an open wound - keep it clean and barely covered while it starts to close.

    • Do: Wash the tattoo 1 - 2x daily with warm water and non-fragrance soap.
    • Do: Pat it dry with a clean paper towel. No dirty bathroom towels.
    • Do: Apply a paper-thin layer of Aquaphor. Don't suffocate the ink.
  2. [02]Protocol:Post-day 3

    Kill the Aquaphor

    The early seal has done its job. Stop the ointment, keep the skin clean, and hold - do nothing else until the tattoo starts to peel.

    • Don't: Kill the Aquaphor. Stop using it completely.
    • Do: Keep up the daily washes and let the skin breathe.
    • Do: Wait it out. Hold until the tattoo starts to peel - no lotion yet.
  3. [03]Medical advisory:Peeling stage

    Hydrate the peel

    Once the skin starts flaking, the heal is on track. This is when hydration earns its place - and a habit worth keeping for life.

    • Do: Once it starts peeling, apply standard unscented lotion once a day.
    • Don't: Don't pick the flakes. Let them shed on their own.
    • Do: Keep lotioning occasionally for life to keep the skin hydrated and the ink looking fresh, not dry.
Directives // non-negotiable

Three golden rules

01

Hands off

no scratching, no picking. the urge passes, the scar doesn't.

02

Thin layers only

a paper-thin coat of aquaphor. drowning the ink slows the heal.

03

Keep it clean

non-fragrance soap, clean hands, fresh towels. infection is the enemy.

something rotting?

some redness, warmth, and clear weeping in the first days is normal. spreading redness, swelling, pus, or a fever is not - if that happens, message the studio and see a doctor. trust your gut.

when in doubt, ask Daniel
