1. Keep your bandage on at least 2-4 hours.
   
2. Wash your hands and then:
   
   1. Remove your bandage
      
   2. Wash your tattoo with soapy water
      
   3. Pat it dry with a towel
      
3. With your clean hands:
   
   1. Apply a thin coat of lotion (Lubriderm, Curel, Etc.)
      
   2. Wipe off any extra lotion
      
   3. Note: Avoid petroleum based products (Do not use Neosporin, A&D Ointment, Etc.)
      
4. With your clean hands:
   
   1. Wash & apply lotion twice a day.
