Aftercare

Leave the bandage on for 8-24 hours. I do not recommend leaving it on longer as this can lead to skin irritation.

Avoid heavy sweating for 24-48 hours.

With clean hands, remove the bandage in the shower or under running water. To remove gently peel the bandage by pulling it slowly from the edge back over itself. Do not pull the bandage upwards.

Wash your tattoo using fragrance-free soap and water. Lather and rinse completely and let air dry or pat dry with a paper towel.

Gently massage a thin layer of fragrance-free lotion over the tattooed area. Moisturize your tattoo once a day for at least two weeks. Do not use ointment (e.g. Aquaphor or Vaseline), lotion only.

For the duration of surface healing (about 2 weeks): 

• Do not submerge/soak your tattoo in any type of water

• Do not pick or scratch your tattoo

• Do not expose your tattoo to direct sunlight or tanning beds

Apply sunscreen after four weeks.
