4. DO YOU NEED AN APPOINTMENT?
No, we gladly accept walk-in appointments, but it will depend on availability. If you are leaving Hawaii soon, we recommend coming in and making an appointment to secure a spot. We also strongly suggest you schedule your appointment the day before you leave because you will to need stay out of the sun and water during the healing process.
5. WHAT IS THE AFTERCARE PROCESS?
Leave the bandage on until you get home or back to your hotel. Wash thoroughly in as warm of water as you can comfortably stand with antibacterial soap, one with no dyes or perfumes such as dial. If your tattoo feels slimy, that’s normal – it’s just plasma. Wash until the slimy feeling is gone. Pat, do not rub, with a clean, dry towel. Do not use Neosporin or A&D. Wait 24 to 48 hours before putting any aftercare product on your tattoo. If you prefer, Wash your new tattoo 2-3 times a day and after clean put a thin layer of perfume and dye-free lotion (such as Lubriderm or Aquaphor). Don't let the direct pressure from the shower hit your tattoo. Avoid hot tubs and swimming until the tattoo is completely healed (about 2-3 weeks). As your new tattoo heals, you may notice peeling or some minor scabbing. If this happens – don’t pick or scratch! Sun is the number one factor in the deterioration of a tattoo over time. Use 30SPF year-round on your tattoo.
