About my inks:

​

I prefer to use vegan ink that is very low in heavy metals. i am a doctor who understands autoimmune diseases. heavy metals and other contaminants in tattoo inks can be environmental triggers for certain illnesses. 

my black ink is kuro sumi, which is made from burnt plants, most likely bamboo. my preferred color ink is mom's millennium, which has the lowest amount of toxins compared to other leading brands in the industry.

​

tattoo aftercare:

​

please wash your tattoo with antibacterial soap twice daily for a week after receiving tattoo. after tattoo has dried from washing, put a layer of a & d ointment, aquaphor, or something similar. if your tattoo is red and hot after two days of initial tattoo, you probably have an infection. please use triple antibiotic ointment or some of my ozone oil (sold in the studio or online in my shop). please see a medical doctor if your redness and heat continue beyond a few days. 

​

do not swim, sauna, or take a soaking bath for three weeks after your initial tattoo date.

​

do not remove scabs from your tattoo...let them fall away naturally. 

it is normal for your tattoo to undergo an "itchy" phase. keep moisturized with ointment, but do not let tattoo "drown". stay balanced. it is normal for ink to spread a little after healing.
