After care instructions:
-wear “second skin” for 3-5 days and no more than a week (if skin develops a rash from bandage use please remove IMMEDIATELY)

Text the studio number if you have any questions during healing
Most tattoos heal in about 7-10 days and up to 2 weeks.
For touch ups:
Please submit a photo of your tattoo at the 1 month healed mark, through the booking form on our website www.kattitudetattoo.com
There will be an option at the beginning of the form that asks if the appointment for a touch up. Click “yes”
We will then let you know if we think you should schedule a touch up.
We recommend touch ups are done after the tattoo has been healed for 3-6 months to allow enough time for the skin to heal.
Enjoy your new art work! :)
