A Comprehensive Tattoo Aftercare Guide

PLEASE NOTE: Always wash your hands before touching your tattoo!


STEP 1: REMOVE WRAP

IF PLASTIC WRAP/ CLING FILM

  • Leave on for 1-2 hours

  • Throw wrap away

  • Do not rebandage as your skin needs to breathe

IF TATTOO BANDAGE/ SECOND SKIN/ SANIDERM

  • Leave on for minimum 24 hours, maximum 4 days

  • To remove: run lukewarm water with soap over the bandage

  • Remove by slowly pulling the bandage in an upwards motion away from the tattooed area while running warm water

  • Throw wrap away after

  • Do not rebandage

STEP 2: CLEANING

USE A GENTLE SOAP & RUB GENTLY

  • Clean the tattoo with a mild, fragrance-free soap such as Dial or Dr. Bronner’s

  • Soap bar alternative: rub it between your hands until foam forms and cleanse with the foam

  • After the tattoo finishes peeling you may moisturize using an unscented lotion instead of ointment such as Lubriderm or Dr. Palmer's

APPLY THIN LAYER & RUB IN THOROUGHLY

  • DO NOT over-apply ointment as this can cause breakouts
