Use of Numbing Products

The use of products to numb the skin prior to any body art procedure is illegal and prohibited. The risks involved in using such products may include: adverse reactions, trouble healing, infection, scarring and can cause life threatening side effects including but not limited to irregular heartbeat, seizures and in rare cases may be fatal.

Aftercare Instructions

Procedure Type: TATTOO

Approximate Healing Time: Two to four (2-4) weeks or longer.

Supplies Needed: Fragrance Free and Dye Free Mild Soap + mild skin lotion or ointment.

Aftercare Instructions:

Keep your new tattoo bandaged for approximately two (2) hours. 12-48 hours if using a transparent film style bandage. Then carefully remove bandage and wash entire area with mild soap and cool water. Allow soap lather to sit on site for 2-3 minutes. Rinse then dry the area, once dry apply a thin layer of mild skin lotion/ointment as needed. Use only a very thin coating and continue to re-apply it two-four (2-4) times daily for at least three (3) days. Wash tattoo before applying new lotion/ointment. Do not re-bandage the tattoo, as it could stick to the bandage and damage or loss of color can occur.

Additional Considerations:

Wash your hands often and before cleaning your tattoo. Avoid sunburn(wrap tattoo area loosely with a bandanna or similar fabric to protect it from the sun), salt or chlorine water, beaches or hot tubs until your tattoo is completely healed. In the event of mild scabs occur, do not pick at or attempt to “wash off” the scab. Allow it to heal by itself. You may apply a mild skin lotion to keep “flaking/peeling” to a minimum. If your tattoo is in a high movement area you may use a Sterile Non-Stick Bandage and medical tape to protect the tattoo during high risk times (workplaces, hospitals, etc). Avoid using products with high petroleum levels such as Vitamin A&D Ointment, Neosporin, Vaseline or ANY product not specifically designed to heal tattoos. Always clean and change your bedding daily. Do not wrap your tattoo with Saran Wrap or any other food preserving products

I agree, and fully understand these aftercare instructions. I will reach out to my artist with any questions or concerns I may have during the healing of the tattoo procedure.*

Yes, I understand.

It is a recommendation that an individual seek medical attention if the tattoo site, brand site or body piercing site becomes infected or painful or if the person develops a fever shortly after being tattooed, branded or having body piercing performed.

Signs of infection include: increased pain, redness, swelling, and warmth around the wound, as well as pus or other abnormal discharge.

Disclosure Statement /Notice for Filing Complaints

Public Act 375, which was enacted in December of 2010, indicates that individuals shall not tattoo, brand, or perform body piercing on another individual unless the tattooing, branding, or body piercing occurs at a body art facility licensed by the Michigan Department of Community Health. Body art facilities are required to be in compliance with the “Requirements for Body Art Facilities,” which provide guidelines for safe and sanitary body art administration.

As with any invasive procedure, body art may involve possible health risks. These risks may include, but are not limited to: transmissions of bloodborne diseases such as HIV and viral hepatitis, skin disorders, skin infections, and allergic reactions.

In addition, persons with certain conditions including, but not limited to, diabetes, hemophilia or epilepsy, are at a higher risk for complications and should consult a physician before undergoing a body art procedure.

If you wish to file a complaint against a body art facility related to compliance with PA 375 or have concerns about potential health risks, please visit www.michigan.gov/bodyart.
