Aftercare

Follow these steps to ensure your tattoo heals properly:

Leave the second skin bandage on for up to 3 days max. When removing the second skin bandage, gently peel it off in a warm shower to loosen the adhesive. Gently wash the tattoo (do not scrub) using a circular motion with unscented, antibacterial soap. I recommend Dial Gold liquid soap. Pat dry with a clean paper towel and allow to air dry for a minimum of 10 minutes. Once dry, apply a thin layer of unscented lotion. I recommend using fragrance-free Lubriderm, any non-comedogenic lotion or a specialized aftercare ointment. Continue to moisturize your tattoo with clean hands, two or three times a day, keep it out of the sun as much as possible and avoid submerging it in water for the first 2-3 weeks. After the tattoo is healed, apply a 30 SPF minimum sunscreen to prevent fading and sun damage. Feel free to reach out to me here if you have any questions.
