TATTOO AFTERCARE

What you will need:
  • Unscented Body Wash
  • Saniderm
  • Unscented Dye Free Lotion

  • How to care for your tattoo:
  • WASH your hands!
  • REMOVE saniderm/tegaderm after the first 24 hours under warm water
  • WASH your tattoo with unscented body wash
  • PAT DRY with a clean towel or let air dry for 20 mins
  • APPLY new layer of saniderm/tegaderm with CLEAN hands, if someone is helping you make sure their hands are clean!
  • LEAVE this new layer on for 5 days.
  • APPLY unscented dye free lotion AFTER the 5 days is over. Remove the saniderm following the same steps. Use a SMALL amount.

  • Things to know:
  • Blood and ink pooling up in the saniderm is normal, this is just the tattoo going through the healing process let it run it’s course
  • DO NOT apply the saniderm with unclean hands, the saniderm is a protective barrier to keep out Blood Bourne Pathogens, Bacteria, etc. Applying with unclean hands is just trapping bacteria under this “second skin” that you are applying
  • DO NOT submerge in water. Though saniderm is waterproof for shower use, do not go swimming or take a bath with it.
  • DO NOT apply any ointments till AFTER you remove the second saniderm after the 5 days is over.
  • KEEP AWAY from directly sunlight on your fresh tattoo
  • If the second layer comes off before the 5 days is over due to excessive sweating or hard labor you can contact us for further instructions

  • How to make it heal “faster”:
It’s not a secret, there’s no magic trick to making your tattoo heal faster except the obvious. The better you care for your body, the easier the healing process will be. Eating a healthy diet, drinking plenty of water, and getting enough sleep helps give your body the “magic” it needs to supply nutrients to the healing “wound”.
