Tattoo Aftercare Instructions

What you'll need:

- Unscented Soap (we recommend Dove bar soap)

- Unscented Lotion (we recommend Baby Aveeno)

Foer Saniderm aka clear plastic bandage:

Keep your bandage on for up to 5 days (if possible)

Remove immediately if the following happens:

- excessive redness accompanied by itching sensation and/or sensitivity usually around but not limited to the outer edge

- your bandage is retaining a decent amount of fluid and/or if the fluid has leaked out of the bandage

- your bandage has pulled off past any part of your tattoo

This bandage is water resistant not water proof, it can be worn in the shower and is not made to be submersed in water for any period of time

When removing the bandage pull down and out like a 3M wall sticker. Taking the bandage off after warming it in the shower can soften the adhesive for removal. If you're left with sticky residue try coconut oil to remove.

If you remove your bandage before the 5 days after being tattooed please follow the aftercare bellow (for blue bandage) to ensure the beat healing outcome.

can ease the adhesive for you comfort

For Blue Bandage:

Keep your bandage on until you wake up

Wash your tattoo 7-10 times a day, starting immediately after you remove your bandage. Pat dry with clean towel or air dry. Continue washing your tattoo for the next 3 days.

*Washing your tattoo regularly within the first five days is crucial to healing your tattoo properly. If the plasma has a chance to dry onto your skin you will end up with scabbing which in turn, if knocked off prematurely, will take your color with it as well as significantly prolonging your healing time.

Apply a VERY thin layer of lotion 2-3 times per day or as needed for the next two weeks.
