Tattoo Aftercare
GENERAL AFTERCARE
In most cases you will be given a second skin which will stay on for 72 hours, during these 72 hours there are no additional steps for you take other than avoiding heavy sweating or going into large bodies of water.
REMOVING SECOND SKIN
Under warm running water you will slowly peel the second skin from the top down unless otherwise instructed. After completely removing, you will wash the area lightly with a mild anti-bacterial soap. Any residual adhesive will come off on it’s own. DO NOT try to scrub it off.
Let the area air dry and apply a small amount of white plain lotion at least once a day until fully healed, which is usually 3-4 weeks for a complete heal.
BLACKOUT AFTERCARE
You will be given a temporary wrap to keep on for 24 hours, after removing you will wash the area lightly with a mild anti bacterial soap and water (no specific brand is needed).
After washing you will let it air dry for 2 days before applying any lotion, after the 2 days of air drying you can start applying a small amount of any white lotion
DO NOT use any type of heavy petroleum based products such as aquafor or vaseline etc. LESS IS MORE
