WELCOME TO
CRYSTAL PINES TATTOOS
C rystal Pines Tattoo Studio is tucked away in the quiet small town of Barrys Bay, and the artistry inside rivals what you'd find in the city.
Having two decades of experience lets me create custom tattoos in a warm, welcoming, and health-board–approved environment where clients feel like friends.
C lean, non-toxic tattooing is at the heart of my studio. I use only the highest-quality products—featuring ink made with organic pigments and tested for heavy metals—to ensure your tattoo is not only stunning, but safe for your skin.

Aftercare
1. Bandage Removal
• Keep the bandage on for 4–6 hours after your session.
• Carefully remove it and do not re-bandage.
2. First Wash
• Wash your hands first.
• Gently wash the tattoo using warm water and unscented antibacterial soap.
• Remove any plasma, ink, or excess ointment.
• Pat dry using a clean paper towel — do not rub.
3. Ongoing Cleaning
• Wash the tattoo whenever it looks dirty, feels sticky, or is oozing.
• You may also wash it once daily in the shower.
• Always pat dry with a paper towel — avoid cloth towels.
4. Moisturizing (Start Day 3)
• From Day 3 onward, apply a thin layer of unscented hand lotion once a day.
• Rub it in completely — the skin should not look shiny or wet.
• Do not over-moisturize, as this can delay healing.
5. General Care
• Do not scratch, pick, or peel any scabs or flaking skin.
• Avoid soaking (no baths, pools, lakes, hot tubs, or long showers).
• Keep out of direct sunlight and avoid tanning beds.
• Wear loose, clean clothing over the tattooed area.
6. Watch for Signs of Infection
• Redness spreading beyond the tattoo, excessive warmth, swelling, yellow or green pus, or fever may be signs of infection.
• If you suspect infection, contact me and your doctor immediately
