Instruct them to sanitise their hands and gently remove fluids and blood using an antibacterial foam wash. The client must pat the tattoo dry with a clean paper towel and air dry for 1-2 minutes until the skin feels tight. Once completely dry, they should apply a paper-thin layer of Dr. Pickles Original Formula Tattoo Balm so the skin has just a slight shine. This wash and heal routine should be repeated 2-3 times daily for approximately 21 days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"margin-bottom: 25px;\"\u003eExpert Technical FAQs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"width: 100%;\"\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #eaeaea; margin-bottom: 5px; padding-bottom: 5px;\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"cursor: pointer; font-weight: bold; padding: 15px 0; outline: none; list-style: none; display: flex; justify-content: space-between; align-items: center; width: 100%;\"\u003eWhy should I retail this over standard supermarket pawpaw ointments? \u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.8em; color: #888;\"\u003e▼\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 0; color: #555; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eSupermarket pawpaw ointments often contain up to 96% petroleum jelly (Vaseline), which creates a non-breathable seal over fresh trauma, trapping heat and bacteria.
