Tattoo Aftercare

SECOND SKIN:
*Leave Second Skin/Saniderm on for 2-3 days. You may shower with the bandage on. But, keep showers short.
*If discomfort or redness occurs before then, carefully remove it in the shower.
*Once it is carefully removed, wash the area with mild soap. We recommend Cetaphil cleanser. Lather, rinse well, and gently pat dry with a clean towel. Air dry for an hour, then apply a light coat of AQUAPHOR on your new tattoo.
*Keep your tattoo clean by washing it at least once a day and applying the AQUAPHOR 2-3 times per day.
*Once completely healed (2-3 months) make sure you use sunblock.
*No Soaking, Swimming, Hot tubs, or Steam Rooms for at least 2 weeks.


DRY LOCK BANDAGE:
Days 1 - 2
*We recommend keeping the bandage on for at least 4 to 5 hours or wait to remove and wash before going to sleep.
*We recommend using Cetaphil or another gentle unscented cleanser. Lather, rinse well, and gently pat dry with a clean towel. Air dry let your tattoo dry out over night do not apply any ointment yet.
*The next morning after cleaning your tattoo, apply a very thin coat of AQUAPHOR.
Days 3-15
*Keep your new tattoo clean by washing it at least once a day and apply the AQUAPHOR in very thin coats 3-4 times per day.
*No Soaking, Swimming, Hot tubs, or Steam Rooms for at least 2 weeks.
*Do not peel or scratch your new tattoo. If it feels super itchy, you can slap it, this will provide a bit of relief, or re-apply a thin coat of AQUAPHOR.
*Continue to apply lotion as needed. Remember tattoos take approximately 2-3 weeks to initially heal, but a total of 2-3 months to heal completely, please be patient and treat your tattoo with care.
