105 The Huck Spalding Method From Huck Spalding'S "Tattooing A To Z"
1. Bandage(*) should stay on for at least two hours.
2. Remove bandage, rinse gently with cold water and blot dry.
3. Apply Bacitracin ointment 4 x a day and blot out the excess.
4. Keep tattoo fresh and open to the air. Do not bandage.
5. For the first week, avoid swimming or long soaking in the water.
6. For the first month, avoid too much exposure to the sun.
7. Do not pick or scratch scabs
8. Itching is relieved by slapping or alcohol.
9. Keep tattoo covered with loose clothing.
* Bandaging Summary
1. After tattooing clean whole area w/ green soap & white paper towel.
2. Spray it with alcohol and hold a paper towel on it.
3. apply film of Bacitracin ointment.
4. Cover with bandage or Handi-Wrap and securely tape it on.
