After your session

Aftercare

Healing is half the tattoo. Follow these and it will settle the way it was drawn.

01

Aftercare with Second Skin

  1. Leave the Second Skin on for 24 hours only, then gently remove it under lukewarm water.

  2. Once it is off, wash your fresh tattoo with clean hands and unscented soap. For the first 3 days I really suggest washing it once in the morning and once before bed or in the shower.

  3. Pat it dry gently with a paper towel rather than your bath towel, which may not be the cleanest.

  4. Everything you use has to be unscented, lotion included. I suggest dry healing until the tattoo starts to crack, then lotion it. Less is more.

02

Aftercare with saran wrap

  1. Keep the saran wrap on for 1 hour minimum and 4 hours maximum. I really suggest leaving it on for the full time.

  2. Clean your tattoo the same way as with Second Skin, but keep washing until you cannot feel any ointment left on it.

  3. Please do not re-wrap your tattoo.
