Traditional Aftercare Instructions
Keep your bandage on for at least 1 hour and no longer than 4 hours.
Wash area thoroughly with mild soap and water. Pat dry with a clean paper towel. Apply a thin layer of Aquaphor to the tattooed area with clean hands. Do this 2-3x through each day for about 4-6 weeks.
If Aquaphor is not your favorite, you may switch to small amounts of unscented lotion.
You may cover your tattoo while sleeping for the first few nights to avoid rubbing and drying out.
Saniderm Aftercare Instructions
Rule #1: On the day you’re ready to take of the Saniderm, do so while in the shower.
Leave your Saniderm wrap on for at least 3 days, but no more than 6 days.
Rinse off your tattoo, pat dry with a clean paper towel. Apply Aquaphor or unscented lotion 2-4x a day until healed.
DO NOT!
Pick, scratch or itch the area until healed 4+ weeks (when the area is no longer shiny, you’ll know)
NO pools, baths (submerging tattoo into water) or exposure to direct sunlight for the first 3 weeks!
Do not wear tight clothing that will rub the area while healing
Do not listen to anyone other than your artist! If you have any questions or concerns, do not hesitate to contact your artist about any trouble that you’re experiencing with your healing process.
