The needles are pre-made, packaged and sterilized by the manufacturer. Classic Tattoo has on file the sterilization certificates from its needle suppliers.

AFTERCARE


CLASSIC TATTOO AFTERCARE!

The quality of your tattoo can be greatly affected by how you care for it!

1) Remove the bandaging after 3-4 hours for smaller tattoos, next day for larger. DO NOT re-bandage
2) Wash immediately after un-bandaging with warm water using finger tips and a mild unscented soap.
3) Wash 2-3 times a day for the first 2 days
4) After first 2 days, apply ONLY a light amount of unscented lotion (we recommend AVEENO in the GREEN bottle) or our Tat2 Cream 2-3 times per day, until skin returns to normal (4 weeks)
5) DO NOT pick or scratch scabs!
6) NO SUN, HOT TUBS, POOLS, OR TANNING for the first 3 weeks. Showering is ok you just don't want to soak your new tattoo!
7) Touch ups are free for the first 3 MONTHS after your appointment, as long as the tattoo was taken care of properly....we will know!
8) Always use a good sunscreen (SPF 30) on tattoo after tattoo has healed
