I recommend any products that are free of synthetic ingredients, fragrances and dyes (which can cause irritation).

I prefer Cosco Tincture of Green Soap (for antibacterial soap) or Dr. Bronner’s Baby Unscented Liquid Soap (for sensitive skin) and Hustle Butter.

Please note: both of these soaps are concentrated liquid soaps and should be diluted first! Refer to the product labels for instructions.

You can purchase these products online + Dr. Bronner’s is also available at Target, Whole Foods and CVS/Walgreens; Hustle Butter is available at Ulta.

Saniderm is available at Walmart and online.

Yes! I have free aftercare kits available + extra supplies for purchase, if needed. Each kit should last 1–2 tattoos, if stored properly.

For larger, multi-session tattoos: buying your own aftercare products ahead of time is highly encouraged!

By the time your tattoo starts peeling, you should not be experiencing persistent redness, swelling, pain, heat and/or oozing.

If you are, you should have your tattoo looked at by a medical professional as soon as possible! In the meantime, continue to keep your tattoo clean and stop moisturizing the infected area. Do not re-bandage the tattoo (the tissue needs to breathe!)

If you don’t have an assigned doctor, go to your nearest Urgent Care. Skin infections should be cleared up with a prescribed medication, not OTCs like Neosporin.

Please email me a photo so I can assess the time requirement. It is not possible for me to determine what is needed without seeing a picture of the tattoo first.

I’m happy to offer 1 free touch-up within a year of your appointment; small touch-ups are always free when they’re done at the same time as a new tattoo.

After 1 year (without a new tattoo appointment), there is a set-up fee of $50.
