Looking after your new tattoo
Write your aftercare on the left and it appears here.
Why the words are yours
This tool does not write your aftercare for you, and neither does Chairtime. Aftercare is advice about your client's skin, and it should come from the person who tattooed them: you know your process, the film or wrap you use and what you want to hear about. The boxes ask the questions a client will have. The answers are yours.
Writing it
Write for somebody reading it at eleven at night with a sore arm. Short sentences, one instruction each, in the order they happen. Say how long each step lasts, since "for the first few days" means something different to everybody. Finish with when to get in touch and how, so a worried client messages you rather than a forum.
A blank line starts a new paragraph. Leave a section empty and it is left off the sheet.
Printing it
The sheet prints twice across a landscape page of A4, to cut down the middle into two A5 cards. In the print window, turn off headers and footers for a clean edge. Nothing you type is saved, so print or copy it before you close the page.
