AFTERCARE

TAKING CARE OF YOUR TATTOO ENSURES IT HEALS PROPERLY AND MAKES SURE IT LOOKS GREAT LONG TERM.

Step 1

Leave your dermsheild on for up to two days.

Step 2

When you take it off, I recommend taking it off in the shower. Let the adhesive warm up a bit with the water and then peel up a corner. Pull the bandage in the direction of the corner you pulled. This should remove the bandage from your skin with minimal discomfort.

Wash your tattoo with a neutral soap and dry with a paper towel.

Step 3

Wash twice a day and moisturize 2-4 times a day for 2-4 weeks. During this time you should avoid sun exposure as much as possible. Keep your tattoo clean and moisturized.

While your tattoo is healing, ABSOLUTELY no pools, spas, saunas, ocean water or lake water. Nothing where your tattoo is submerged but showers are totally fine.

Remember

Don’t let your pets lick your tattoo. Do not let your tattoo get dirty

Your tattoo may scab or peel, do not pick at or remove your scab

Moisture is super important to the healing process. Avoid letting your tattoo dry out, as this may lead to uneven fill

For moisturizer, I recommend an unscented lotion. Use only a small amount and make sure it fully absorbs into the skin.

No tanning at all!

Always keep an eye out for signs of infection and if you notice them speak with your doctor.
