Now that your tattoo session is complete, here are some aftercare tips and recommendations on how to heal your fresh tattoo. Please read the information below carefully.

Keep the Second Skin on for 3 to 5 days.

If the plasma inside leaks out or the bandage peels off earlier, remove and replace the second skin or start the rest of the aftercare early but ensure you cleanse 2-3 times a day and do not apply moisturizer until tattoo is no longer weepy and is dry to the touch. While the second skin is waterproof, do not apply excessive amounts of water on it.

Remove the Second Skin in the shower under warm water after the 3-5 days.

After removing the second skin, wash your tattoo with unscented antibacterial liquid soap from a bottle.

Do not use bar soap. We recommend Cetaphil as the most gentle and available option.

Gently wash your tattoo with lukewarm water twice a day (or as needed), every day until fully healed (2-3 weeks)

Do not use loofah, sponges, scrubs, or towels to clean your tattoo. If wet, gently pat dry the tattoo with a clean paper towel to remove excess moisture. Do not dry your tattoo by rubbing.

Once your tattoo is clean, apply a small quantity of unscented moisturizer.

Do not use Vaseline, Neosporin, or Polysporin as it can trap bacteria while the tattoo is still healing. Cetaphil is also recommended here for the moisturizer.

Moisturize your tattoo after each wash and whenever it is dry every day until it is completely healed (2-3 weeks).

More things to note:

-Do not scratch, poke, touch, or bump your tattoo.

-Do not use alcohol, saline solution or similar to heal your tattoos.

-Avoid drinking alcohol for the first 2 days after your tattoo is done.

-Avoid exercise and excessive sweating for the first week.

-Do not submerge your tattoo in water (baths, pools, hot tubs, or long showers) or saunas/spas for 2 weeks.

-Avoid exposure to the sun for 2 weeks.

-Avoid tight clothing for 2 weeks.
