instructions

I use adhesive bandages to wrap all tattoos unless there is a known adhesive allergy.

• Leave your second skin on for approximately 5 days unless the bandage has been compromised.

• Remove the bandage in the shower, sometimes bandages will be difficult to remove.

• Rinse with water or use an unscented soap

• Pat dry with a clean towel any time your tattoo is exposed to water for 2 weeks after your appointment.

• Do not use excessive moisturizers, if your tattoo is feeling tight or dry you may apply an unscented lotion to your tattoo. Dry healing is preferred.

additional info

Avoid sweating excessively while your second skin is on or for a minimum of one week post appointment.

Avoid submerging/soaking your tattoo in water for two weeks post appointment. Showering and short contact with clean water is fine.

Keep healing tattoos out of the sun and do not use sunscreen on your tattoo until it is fully healed. Adhesive bandages can increase your risk of sunburn.

It is normal to have a buildup of blood and fluid under the bandage.

Less is more, the less you touch your tattoo the better it will heal, avoid picking and scratching.

Redness and swelling are normal for a fresh tattoo, if you suspect you are having a reaction/infection it’s best to speak to a medical professional.
