Tattoo Aftercare

The aftercare of a new tattoo is extremely important! It only takes a few days of good care, and done properly, the tattoo will heal fine and remain attractive. After 2 hours wash your hands and remove the bandage. If the dressing sticks to the skin wet it with lukewarm water. Wash your new tattoo with a mild fragrance free soap and rinse thoroughly. Only wash area with bare hands. Washcloths and sponges are not recommended. Dry the wet tattoo by patting with a new paper towel. Massage a small amount of mild fragrance free moisturizing lotion into your tattoo. It should not scab but will develop a layer of dry skin. Follow the above instructions at least three times daily until the layer falls off (typically two weeks). Ointments like Petroleum Jelly or Neosporin are not recommended for tattoos. A tattoo needs to be exposed to air to breathe. After the initial healing is complete keep it moist by applying a mild moisturizing lotion until your skin returns to normal. Healing tattoos tend to itch, just moisturize it and that will help.

Important: A healing tattoo should not be submerged or soaked in water. Any scabs that may appear should be left to fall of naturally. There is no need to re-bandage

Any clothing that touches a new tattoo should be clean and soft. It may be necessary to wear protective clothing if you will be exposed to grease, oils, dirt, metals, dust, ect. If the tattoo becomes infected (due to poor aftercare) contact your physician to get treatment. Exposure to sunlight at any stage will degrade a tattoo and make it fade. Sun block of an SPF 30 or higher should be used any time the tattoo will be exposed to the sun. Remember: Your tattoo is your responsibility once you leave Studio 42 and it is worth the time to take good care of.

Piercing Aftercare

     The instructions contained herein are not given as medical advice. These are common sense instructions based on practical experience. If medical advice is needed, consult a physician.

     The healing time for newly installed body jewelry varies between persons. The depth of the jewelry, its location on the body, the pressure of clothing, and daily activities also affect healing.                       Personal cleanliness is most important during the healing process.

The area of installation does not need to be covered during bathing or showering. Twice daily the piercing should be cleansed with a mild fragrance free soap. Then gently rotated. Otherwise don’t touch it.      There are no ointments recommended for a healing piercing. Bactine or Saline Solution, (the kind used for contact lenses) can be used in between cleanings.

     The tongue and areas around the mouth are different than most or all other piercings. It is extremely important to rinse the mouth every time anything other than water comes in contact with it, even fingers and cigarettes. Use a 50/50 solution of water and Listerine for this, and full strength twice daily. Listerine is the only recommended mouthwash to be used. Regular oral hygiene should still be in practice. Otherwise keep it and all other piercings clean.

Touchups are never free. In the end the “free touchup” always ends up costing the artist. People have a tendency to abuse the term “FREE” let alone “Touchup”. Some tattooing will involve a Follow-up session to tighten things that may have not settled well during the healing process. Usually your artist will let you know before you leave if they feel that you may need a follow up.

Walk-ins are welcome on a first come first serve basis.
