tattoos

Our artists provide not only beautiful high quality tattoos, but also a comfortable and positive experience for clients. Everyone deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and informed throughout the tattoo process.

Gemini Sun is an earth-conscious or "eco" studio. It is important to make sustainable and earth-minded choices in our practice. We use at least 50% eco-responsible, third party certified products with our main supplier, Good Judy Eco Tattoo Supply.

From Good Judy: "Eco-tattooing is a stand for social and environmental justice through our every-day routine as working professionals... Nature is often the direct inspiration for tattoos and while we honor what we love about the natural world by adorning our bodies with it, we can also create awareness to protect it."

tattoo aftercare

DAY 1-2:

Wear the initial bandage up to 8hrs. After you remove the bandage, clean and moisturize the area. You may re-bandage your tattoo if necessary, but it's recommended to let the tattoo breathe. Avoid tight or fuzzy clothing.

DAY 3-30:

Clean and moisturize 2-3 times a day. Let your tattoo breathe. Avoid tight or fuzzy clothing. Talk with your artist or email gemini.sun.studio@gmail.com with any questions.

TO CLEAN & MOISTURIZE:

First, run warm water over your tattoo for a few minutes. Then, with clean hands, wash gently using unscented, castile soap. Pat dry with a clean towel. Gently pat in a thin layer of aftercare salve until fully absorbed. We recommend Dr. Bronner's soap, and coconut oil. Other great salve options: Hustle Butter, Tattoo Lovers Care, Lakota Made, and Garden Thyme tattoo salves. Clean and moisturize 2-3 times a day for 4 weeks. For the best healing, it's important to keep your tattoo moisturized, but not too wet or too dry.

DO:

Wash your hands before touching your tattoo.

Keep the area clean & moisturized.

Let your tattoo breathe.

Wear loose, soft clothing.

Follow instructions for the full 4 weeks of healing time.
