After leaving your session, keep the bandage wrapped until you get home . Apply a hot compress by getting a couple of paper towels and run it under hot water from your sink (not enough to burn yourself though). Soak the paper towels then immediately apply to your tattoo. Hold hot paper towels on your tattoo for one minute. Re-soak the paper towels and repeat this ten times in a row.
In many cases, a hot shower will also do the trick. The heat and moisture will draw out blood, plasma, and extra ink sitting in your pores, which should result in a quick and scab free healing.

Pat dry your tattoo and apply a thin layer of unscented Lotion 1-2x a day for the following two weeks . Avoid soaking/submerging your tattoo for two weeks and keep it away from exposure to sunlight.
Clean your tattoo daily.
