Always wash your hands before touching your fresh tattoo.
Day one for Saran Wrap:
Take bandage off no longer than 2 hours. Do not re-wrap. Wash with only liquid antibacterial soap and water. (antibacterial, dial, dove. No bar soaps.) Showers will be good but please do not soak or bathe with a fresh tattoo.
Pat dry with a paper towel or clean cloth. Continue to clean once or twice per day in order to avoid infection.
Day one for Dermshield: This is a skin bandage that can stay on your tattoo for up to 5-6 days. Light bleeding/ink fallout underneath the bandage is normal after a fresh tattoo. If anything leaks outside your bandage, take your bandage off and follow the cleaning steps above. The bandage can come off early if necessary; if experiencing any redness/irritation, take off bandage immediately. Do not rewrap. Once the bandage comes off, clean with water and antibacterial soap once or twice per day in order to avoid infection.
The tattooed area will become dry/ scabbed after 2-3 days of cleaning. This is when you want to apply a small amount of moisturizer to your tattoo. Make sure your hands are clean, and that the moisturizer is fully rubbed into your skin. Coconut oil, calendula oil, and Hustle butter are all great products I recommend. Apply as needed 2-4 times daily to reduce dryness. Please avoid scented lotions, Vaseline, aquaphor, neosporin, and other products containing petroleum jelly or unnatural fragrance. Skin can become itchy during the healing process, so avoid scratching or rubbing the area too much.
Additional things to consider: Do not go swimming with a fresh tattoo, avoid lakes, pools, hot tubs etc. until your tattoo is healed. Limit exposure to the sun, additional trauma to the skin including sunburns, abrasions, acne and scratches can disrupt the healing process. Please consider washing your tattoo after situations like: going to the gym, playing with your pets, working on your car, etc. If you have any further questions, please contact your artist.
