Bandage

Keep your tattoo wrapped/bandaged for 4 - 6 hours. If you have pets, you can wear it over night.

​

If you have second skin (Saniderm) leave it on for 4-5 days unless it starts to peel off. If you feel like you want to put on Saniderm a day later, please let me know in advance so I can give extra.

Washing

When you take off the bandage wash the tattoo thoroughly with unscented soap (avoid used bar soap) 2-3 times. Pat dry with new, clean paper towel.

​

Wash your tattoo once a day for the first week. Your tattoos do not need to be covered again once the bandage is off. Wear loose non-restrictive clothing over it.

​

*Tip: For Saniderm pull away from your body under water, do not peel like a sticker.

Healing

Let your tattoo dry out for 2-4 days. Once it starts to get flaky/dry you can use a water based, unscented lotion. Use a pea sized amount, lotion does not overly help healing but more so with itchiness or tightness. Do not use Polysporin, Petroleum Jelly, or any oil based moisturizer.

​

Depending on your tattoo (size, and colour VS black & grey), it can take at least 4 weeks to fully heal.

DO NOT

No swimming, soaking, or sun for at least 2 weeks. Showering like normal once a day is fine. NO picking. If it's super itchy, running it under cold water should help.

​

Always reach out to you artist, even if you feel silly, if anything feels off with healing or if there's any questions. I'm always there to help!
