Your artist will explain to you in details the aftercare instructions. Sometimes our tattooists will provide different aftercare depending on the particular tattoo. Generally speaking, after the tattooing is complete, the artist will clean and apply a thin layer of ointment and a bandage will be applied. After 24 hours remove the bandage and wash your tattoo with a mild soap or Green Foam Soap, which can be purchased at the shop. Pat your tattoo dry with paper towel, then re-apply a thin layer of healing ointment cream. We also sell tattoo Moisturizing creams designed to moisturize and protect your new tattoo.

Please be aware we don’t not use piecing guns is our shop. We use disposable needles for each client. Ear piercing boutiques and retail stores are not licensed to conduct any form of piercing, but due to a loop hole in most municipal licensing policies, they are more often licensed for "retail sales", which means they are never inspected by the local health units for safety and sterilization procedures. If you are considering getting anything pierced at the mall or plaza you may want to keep this in mind, they are no safer than you attempting to pierce your ears in the bathroom with a safety pin.
