Proper aftercare is essential to ensure your new tattoo heals beautifully and maintains its vibrant colors. Hustle Butter Ointment is a popular choice among tattoo enthusiasts for its effective and soothing properties. Here’s a straightforward guide to using Hustle Butter for optimal tattoo healing:

1. Clean Your Tattoo:

  • Start by gently washing your tattoo with lukewarm water and mild, fragrance-free soap.

  • Pat it dry with a clean, soft towel. Avoid rubbing to prevent irritation.

2. Apply Hustle Butter:

  • Apply a small amount of Hustle Butter Ointment to your tattoo.

  • Use just enough to cover the tattoo with a thin layer. Over-application can suffocate the skin.

3. Repeat Regularly:

  • Apply Hustle Butter 3-4 times a day during the first week.

  • As your tattoo begins to heal, reduce the frequency to twice a day.

4. Protect Your Tattoo:

  • Keep your tattoo out of direct sunlight and avoid soaking it in water (like pools or baths) for at least two weeks.

  • Wear loose, breathable clothing to avoid friction on your new tattoo.

5. Monitor Healing:

  • Keep an eye on your tattoo for signs of infection, such as excessive redness, swelling, or unusual discharge. If you notice anything concerning, consult your tattoo artist or a healthcare professional.

By following these simple steps and using a quality ointment like Hustle Butter, you can ensure your tattoo heals well and stays looking great. Remember, taking care of your tattoo is an investment in its longevity and appearance.
