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.
