Tattoo Aftercare

For second-skin bandage

• Keep the film bandage on for 4 days(if any redness or irritation occurs around bandage please take it off right away)

• Bandage is waterproof, so it is perfectly fine to take shower with it on, but try not to steam it too much.

• After you take off the bandage wash your tattoo with unscented soap and water, pat dry and apply thin layer of Aquaphor. Don’t be alarmed if there are fragments of ink on the bandage - it’s normal.

• Apply Aquaphor 2 times a day(thin layer) for 3 days, after 3 days use regular lotion(preferably unscented). Please, don’t oversaturate the tattoo with ointment.

• Also, while the bandage is on, you will notice the blood plasma under it, causing the tattoo to appear blurry. It’s normal, but if you’ll see a lot of it please take bandage off and use Aquaphor for about 5 days.

• No exercise for 4 days(sweating is not good for healing tattoo)

• No sun exposure, sauna, hot tub, no soaking in water for 2 weeks

• Don’t use any sunscreen, scented lotions or soap while your tattoo is healing(for about 2 weeks)

• Don’t scratch and scrub your tattoo while it’s healing
