  • When client returns home, immediately remove the plastic wrap and dispose of it 

  • Take a shower with warm or cold water, but avoid directly splashing water or applying soap onto a tattoo (skin) area 

  • With cold or warm water, use your hands to gently rub the tattoo area; ensure to wash away any dried blood, plasma, ink and petroleum jelly.

  • After removing the bandage, take a shower with lukewarm water, gently using your hands to wash your tattoo with unscented soap.
