Leave bandage on for at least 2 hours Wash tattoo with an anti-microbial or anti-bacterial soap, make sure to remove any extra ointment or blood. Only use your fingers, DO NOT USE A WASH RAG Pat dry with towel, and let air dry for 5 to 10 minutes. Apply a very small amount of ointment and work into the skin, too much oiitnement will cause oozing, not enough will cause the tattoo to dry out. Apply ointment at least 5 times for a week. (keep it moist) Wash the new tattoo at least 3 times a day The tattoo will begin to peel within 4 to 5 days. Use  a lotion like Cruel or Eucerin for another 7 to 10 days.
