AFTERCARE!

Regular bandage aftercare instructions

• Keep bandage on for at least 3-4 hours but overnight if possible.

• Remove bandage & wash with unscented/antibacterial soap & pat/air dry.

• Apply a very thin layer of lotion to moisturize as needed (recommended: Vitamin E oil, Vitamin A&D ointment, Aquaphor, Lubriderm etc).

• The tattoo will peel and scab during the healing process; do not pick, scratch or scrub your tattoo during this process & avoid wearing tight/abrasive clothing.

• Avoid swimming, soaking & sun exposure for first two weeks or until tattoo is completely healed.

Second skin, saniderm or dermshield aftercare

• Leave bandage on for 4-5 days.

• Bandage is waterproof so showers are okay but do not soak (including swimming or bathtubs).

• If tattoo is exposed from under the bandage or fluid is leaking out before 4-5 days, remove the bandage and follow aftercare instructions to the left!

• Remove with warm water and unscented soap in the shower, pull on bandage gently and discard.

• Moisturize tattoo as needed with unscented lotion.

After the tattoo is healed, use lotion to keep it looking bright and make sure to use sun screen!
