Areola After- Care Instructions

  • A transparent film will be placed on your tattoo unless an allergy is present. Do not remove this film for 7 days & shower with it on.

  • Do not submerge in water (bath, pool, ocean, hot tub, etc) for 14 days.

  • Do not work out or sweat for 7 days.

  • On day 7, remove film dressing and shower. Wash with gentle soap (Dial, Dove, Cetaphil), water and fingertips.

  • After shower, sit topless and air dry for 1 hour. Once dry, text Malorie a photo to 314-265-7542. She will determine if you need a touch-up at six weeks.

  • If you do not wish to send a photo, your doctor can determine if you need a touch-up at your next appointment.

  • If we do not use a transparent film dressing, aquaphor will be applied immediately following the procedure along with a non stick gauze pad. You will need to apply aquaphor 3 times a day for 3 days and change the gauze pads.
