Aftercare

Chapter V

How do I care for a new tattoo?

Healing instructions are given at the end of every session, and a copy of our aftercare sheet is emailed to you shortly after you leave.

Reliquary's healing instructions on a holographic sheet. Plastic wrap: wear it 2 to 4 hours, then wash with unscented soap and warm water; for 4 days wash once a day, pat dry with a clean paper towel and apply a thin layer of A&D or Aquaphor, up to 3 or 4 times a day; then unscented lotion for another 7 to 12 days. Saniderm bandage: wear it 24 to 48 hours, remove it in the shower, pulling it away from the skin, and apply ointment for the 2 days after; a small pool of colored plasma under it is normal, don't push the bubble out. Keep the tattoo out of the sun, pools and baths until healed (at least 2 weeks), shower but don't soak it, avoid tight clothing, sweat, fragrance, dirty surfaces and contact with pets and people, and don't pick or scratch.Tap to open it full size, then press and hold to save.

Are touch-ups free?

Yes. Many things can affect how a tattoo heals. We hope you follow our aftercare instructions closely for the best outcome, and every touch-up session is free within six months of your original appointment date. Touch-ups aren't available on Fridays or Saturdays.

Can my tattoo be featured in Sadie's Portfolio?

Sadie loves sharing her favorite finished pieces on her website and social media. Want a tag if yours makes an appearance? Add your Instagram handle to your user profile so we know where to find you, and send us a picture in two weeks, after it heals!
