Chair-side protocol

Print this page, or hand the client the aftercare card. Everything below matches the wording on the site and the can.

At the end of the session

1. Clean — wash your hands, then gently clean the tattoo with a mild, fragrance-free, pH-balanced antibacterial or antimicrobial soap. Rinse thoroughly.
2. Dry — pat dry with a clean disposable paper towel, then let it air-dry until completely dry and matte.
3. Spray — shake the 150 ml professional can, hold about 12 inches (25–30 cm) away and apply a light, even coat. Let each coat dry about 30–40 seconds.
4. Coats by tattoo — fine-line 1–2, heavier black & grey 2–3, full saturation or blackout 4–5.

What to tell the client

• Repeat clean → dry → spray every 24 hours, and again after showering, getting it wet or heavy sweating.
• Never spray over a wet, sweaty or unclean surface.
• Use only during the initial aftercare phase, no more than about 4–5 days, then move to a light fragrance-free moisturiser.
• Do not layer creams, balms, oils or wraps over the spray during the cycle.
• Contact the artist, or a qualified healthcare professional, with any concerns.

Hand over

Give the client the 32.5 ml take-home can and the aftercare card.
