AFTERCARE

We have done our part | Now you do yours

• If you received second skin after your tattoo: leave on for 2-5 days.

• When removing, do so under cool running water. Start peeling from a corner, letting the water run on it as you slowly pull it off.

• If you start to notice any redness, bumps, irritation, swelling, or severe itching, you may be having a reaction to the adhesive. Remove immediately.

• Once removed, wash with fagrance free antibacterial soap. Lather it well, to help remove the adhesive. Do not scrub, but gently massage with fingers, and pat dry with a paper towel.

• If you did not receive second skin, leave plastic wrapping on for up to 24 hours. Once removed, gently clean with fragrance-free antibacterial soap.

• 24 hours after removing your second skin or plastic wrapping, you can apply a very thin layer of non-scented lotion. Continue to apply twice a day for the next two weeks.

• You may continue to shower as normal, but refrain from scrubbing or using wash cloths or loofas on your new tattoo.

• NO baths, hot tubs, saunas, or swimming or soaking the tattoo of any kind for 2-3 weeks.

• DO NOT scratch or pick at your tattoo when it starts to itch. Itching is normal.

• DO NOT expose your healing tattoo to tanning beds or prolonged sun exposure.

• NEVER touch your fresh tattoo with dirty hands or allow others to touch your new tattoo while it’s healing.

• Protect your new tattoo from rubbing against rough clothing while healing.

• Your tattoo will be fully healed after 3-4 weeks. For best long-term results, continue to moisturize regularly and apply an SPF before going out in the sun.
