Tattoo Aftercare

Remove Second Skin-style bandage in the shower within 24-72 hours. Regular bandaging should be worn for 6-14 hours, ideally kept on overnight.

Once your bandage is removed, gently wash your tattoo with unscented soap and warm water.

Keep your tattoo clean and dry for the next two weeks. Do not pick or scratch or submerge in water.

Itching is normal. Use a small amount of unscented moisturizer on cleaned skin as necessary, but do not keep your tattoo too wet.

If you develop a fever, chills, increasing pain, excessive swelling, or your tattoo is unusually warm to the touch, contact a doctor. Infections are rare but they can happen.
