Please avoid swimming, hot tubs, baths, sun exposure, gym equipment or shaving for at least two weeks while your tattoo is healing. You have an open wound and are more susceptible to harmful chemicals and bacteria that may interfere with your healing and your overall health. Please also try to avoid your pet touching your fresh tattoo. I know its hard, we love them so, and sometimes they can be rambunctious and excited to see you. If by chance your dog or cat touches, or scratches you , wash your tattoo immediately.
