Step 1 of 7

Supplies..After Inked is a cruelty free and vegan product

Step 2 of 7

MOST IMPORTANTLY BEFORE TOUCHING YOUR NEW TATTOO WASH YOUR HANDS💦✋❕👍 ALSO WAIT ANYWHERE FROM 3-4 HOURS AFTER YOUR TATTOO HAS BEEN COMPLETED TO CLENSE IT 😃

Step 3 of 7

Dip the soap in the warm water and gently rub onto the tattoo

Step 4 of 7

Take a sponge & dip it in the water..gently wash away the soap from the tat you will see some of the ink on the sponge don't be alarmed b/c it's still healing..repeat as needed until the soap is gone

Step 5 of 7

Next take a dry sponge and make sure all the extra water is off of the tattoo be very gentle this area is sensitive

Step 6 of 7

Lastly you will applying thin layer of the after inked lotion or antimicrobial ointment..massage in gently until you can no longer see the product..it will not appear greasy and that's a good thing

Step 7 of 7

FYI:If you have your own process great but this is what works for me.The use of the After Inked cut down my healing time to 1 week instead of 2.This process should be done 3-4 times a day for 2 weeks

You're Done

Everyone has there certain products they use but three - four hours after you get it your supposed to wash it and apply the proper cream this is my second tattoo and my first one healed perfectly..this cream after inked pretty much cuts the healing time in half you should look it up..
