aftercare
Standard
Keep the tattoo bandaged overnight.
Take bandage off in the morning and gently wash tattoo in a hot shower with soap. Rinse well.
Pat tattoo dry with a clean paper towel and let air dry for at least 15min.
Leave the tattoo alone.
Repeat twice a day or as needed for the next 5 days. As the tattoo starts to get flaky and itchy, moisturize with a very small amount of lotion. If your tattoo looks greasy or wet, you’re using too much!
Tegaderm/Second Skin
*If you are already wearing the Tegaderm, skip to step 4.
Follow the first 3 steps of the standard aftercare instructions above.
When the tattoo is dry, peel off the bottom layer of the Tegaderm, place over the tattoo slowly and evenly - making sure the whole tattoo is covered, press down and try to push out any air bubbles.
Pull off the top layer of Tegaderm.
Leave on for 5 days and do your thing.
On the 5th day, peel the Tegaderm off in the shower.
As the tattoo starts to get flaky and itchy, moisturize with a very small amount of lotion. If your tattoo looks greasy or wet, you’re using too much!
