TATTOO AFTERCARE

Applying a protective bandage for tattoo aftercare.

Day 1-3

Day 1: 2nd skin is applied and can remain up to 3 days. 2nd skin is a breathable bandage; you can shower while it is on.

Day 2: 2nd skin can remain but try to limit workouts.

Day 3: When removing 2nd skin, remove in shower, gently pull out from top. Once removed, clean with Antibacterial hand soap. Pat dry with paper towel. Next you'll apply unscented lotion.

Day 4-14

Day 4-14: Clean with antibacterial hand soap and lukewarm water. Pat dry with paper towel. Apply unscented body lotion. Repeat 3 times daily. Once in morning, once in midday and once in evening. Avoid direct sunlight/ UV damage. Avoid workouts, sweat is bad for a new tattoo and can cause blistering. This could result in ink loss.

Day 14 & beyond

Continue cleaning tattoo with antibacterial soap and keep moisturized with unscented soap. For direct sunlight exposure, use sunscreen lotion. 

You can resume normal workout routine.
