You just got a kickass tat. You love it, your friends love it, and your artist loves it because your FKit™ stopped you from squirming like a little bitch. Seriously, you kept still as a garden gnome sitting on a fake mushroom and now that shading looks like a f*cking Monet.
Time to sit back and enjoy the art, right?
Not so fast.
That new art of yours needs to be nurtured. Follow these steps and guarantee the best results:
Moisturize
After your artist is finished, make sure they apply water-based moisturizer, like FKit’s aftercare cream, and have them slap a bandage on that new beauty.
Petroleum jelly?
F*ck that sh!t.
The American Academy of Dermatology says that crap can fade your new ink or even hold bacteria against the skin, causing an infection.
We can’t stop you if you’re the type of person who likes getting an infection and ruining your tattoo, but maybe there’s some toll-free f*cking helpline you should call...
Please call that helpline.
Unveil Your Masterpiece...
Keep your tat swaddled in that moisturizer and bandage like the precious f*cking baby it is for five to 12 hours. Now it’s time for the grand reveal.
Welcome to the world, new tat. It’s time to breathe.
But not without a bath!
Gently wash your tattoo with antibacterial soap and continue to do so twice daily for two weeks, applying a water-based moisturizer after each wash.
The Sun’s a Bitch, But You Aren’t...
Be kind to your new tattoo. A day on the beach might sound great, but frankly, for the next few weeks it’s a sh!t idea.
UV rays can be tough on new tattoos, so protect your skin when you’re outside. Cover up with loose clothing that won’t stick to your skin.
Swimming can also affect your new tattoo, increasing your risk of fading or infections. Chlorinated and salt water can be especially rough on new art. Depending on how fast you heal, avoid swimming for two to four weeks.
Showers are fine, as long as they’re brief, so please don’t give those up. No one needs to smell that.
Okay, But My Tat’s Looking a Little Funky...
Scabbing is normal after any tattoo, but if the area isn’t healing and becomes more inflamed with time, you might have an infection on your hands.
Rule of thumb: Your tattoo shouldn’t start looking like Darth Vader without his mask… unless you actually got a tattoo of Darth Vader without his mask, which is pretty f*cking niche, but we dig it.
If you think your tattoo is infected or isn’t healing properly, see a doctor.
Signs of infection? Persisting redness, inflammation, lesions, puss, swelling, fevers, nausea...
That sh!t’s not normal.
Get your ass to urgent care.
Long-Term Tattoo Care
You spent all that time and money on your art. Now keep it looking good!
After the tattoo has healed, always use sunscreen to maintain vibrant colors and defined lines.
Wait at least a month, though. Thick ointments, like most sunscreens, could block the skin from air and slow the healing process. Until then, cover with clothing.
Another way to keep that tattoo in good shape? Stay hydrated, so your skin is always looking its best.
The FKit™ Difference...
So, you said F’ it and got the FKit™? F*ck yeah. Hello, kickass tattoo. Goodbye, pain.
But why are we better than the competition?
For starters, our individually-wrapped packets deliver the exact amount of our numbing agent you’ll need. With those cheap Chinese tubes, you run the risk of applying too much and harming yourself. Seriously, they can literally put you in a f*cking coma or even kill you. Check out our blog about deadly tattoo numbing creams here.
Plus, once those tubes from those other brands are open, they don’t last long. Wait a month or so after opening, and you may as well slather butter on your skin.
FKit™ Aftercare...
When you use the FKit’s aftercare cream, just clean the tattoo area and apply the cream one to two times a day.
It’s that simple. It’s safe, water-based, and moisturizes while killing bacteria!
So say f*ck it and get the FKit™.
FKit™ fully numbs your skin for up to four hours so you can stay completely still.
Stop the twitching, don’t tap out, and get the detailed, kickass tattoo you deserve.
