Always have freshly washed hands when handling your new tattoo!1st Week:CLEAR ADHESIVE BARRIER
- Wash the area as you would normally and take care not to rip it. Inspect it often to make sure it is not broken. If any signs of rash or pain appears after application please remove. Depending on your skin the bandage will last 5-7 days, once that time arrives please remove.REMOVAL
put the tattoo under warm running water and wash with only Unscented and Anti-Bacterial soap. Pull the edge down, out, and away from you to start pulling the bandage off. Take time to gently wash the tattoo and edge of the bandage as you pull it off completely.
-----------------------------WITHOUT BARRIER - Wash 2-3 times a day with an Unscented and Anti-Bacterial soap and warm water. Pat dry with a paper towel (hand towels can harbor bacteria harmful to your open wound) and apply a moisturizer like Dr Bronner's, Hustle Butter, Vegalene, Aveeno, Lubriderm, or your favorite Non-Petroleum based heavy moisturizer just make sure it's Unscented!-----------------------------
2nd Week:Continue to wash as needed throughout your day using the previous method. (Usually when it starts to feel dry and itchy; avoid scratching or picking.) Apply a lighter unscented moisturizer or lotion this week.No swimming or soaking for 4-6 weeks. Continue to gently exfoliate and moisturize your skin to keep your tattoos looking crisp!
