Aftercare.

Healing

  • Healing can take up to 14 days. However, how long it takes to fully heal depends on the person and can vary as everyone is different.

  • Until tattoo is fully healed, please refrain from swimming, baths etc.

  • Keep tattoo out of direct sunlight

  • Avoid tight clothing and products that may irritate the area

  • Do not scratch or pick at the tattoo. Peeling and itching is a sign of healing

  • Avoid exercise until the tattoo is fully healed.

Second skin

  • Please keep the second skin on for about 3 -4 days

  • If any irritation/reaction occurs with remove the second skin immediately.

  • Showering is okay but try to keep tattoo out of hot water until it is healed

  • Tattoo may bleed (leftover ink and plasma) into the second skin which causes bubbling of the second skin, but that is perfectly normal.

  • Gently remove second skin under running water and gently wash with non-scented/low pH soap and pat dry with a paper towel

  • After a few days the tattoo may start peeling, please do not scratch or peel.

  • Apply a thin layer of tattoo cream (protat cream/bepanthen or coco butter) every ~4 hours to keep tattoo from drying out, but not too much that it is oily

Cling wrap

  • If you are using cling wrap to cover your tattoo, it is recommended to leave it on for at least 1 hour (no longer than 4 hours)

  • Once wrap is removed, gently wash it in the shower with a mild/low pH antibacterial soap or wipe down with a wet paper towel.

  • Pat dry with a clean towel

  • Use tattoo aftercare product until fully healed (eg. bepanthen)
