Dark LotusTattoo
Aftercare & Policies
General aftercare guidance and studio policies. Always follow the specific instructions your artist gives you for your piece, placement, skin, and bandage type.
Wash your hands before touching the tattoo. Leave the bandage on for the time your artist tells you. After removing it, gently wash with mild fragrance-free soap and clean water, pat dry with a clean towel, and apply only a thin layer of the aftercare product your artist recommends.
Keep the tattoo clean and let it breathe. Wear clean, loose clothing over the area. Do not pick, scratch, peel, or shave over the tattoo. No baths, pools, hot tubs, lakes, or rivers until healed. Avoid direct sun, tanning beds, heavy friction, and dirty environments.
Mild redness, mild swelling, tenderness, light peeling or flaking, and itching as the tattoo settles are all normal parts of the heal.
Policies
Sending a request does not create an appointment or guarantee the studio accepts the project. The studio reviews the idea, placement, size, style, budget, references, and availability before confirming next steps.
Deposits hold appointment time and apply to the final session unless a written policy says otherwise. Deposit terms are confirmed before booking.
Late reschedules, no-shows, or arriving too late to complete the appointment may require a new deposit. Contact the studio as early as possible if timing changes.
Consultation requests are for adults 18 and older only. Minor services are not offered.
Clients should not arrive under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Artists may decline or stop service when continuing would be unsafe, unlawful, or outside the agreed design.
