If you were wrapped in plastic wrap at the end of your session, you will want to remove this bandage within two hours.

If you were wrapped in a second skin product such as Tegaderm or Saniderm, you will leave this bandage on for 24-48 hours. If the second skin starts to leak before this time, remove as soon as you’re able to get somewhere you can safely and cleanly remove the bandage and clean the tattoo. Leaving the second skin on too long after leaking can cause the tattoo to heal improperly.

When removing your bandage, remove in shower with warm water. Wash the tattoo with minimum a non-scented antibacterial soap (we recommend an antimicrobial soap), rinse fully, and pat dry with a fresh paper towel.

Let stand for a few minutes and apply a thin layer of a non-scented water based moisturizer. Going forward, wash a minimum of two times a day with said soap, and apply a thin layer of moisturizer once every few hours as needed.

Avoid submerging in water (oceans, lakes, rivers, pools, hot tubs, baths, etc.) and any extended exposure to sun for minimum two weeks.

From there use a sunscreen to protect your new tattoo from the sun.
