● Carefully remove bandage after 2-3 hours and wash with warm/hot water and a mild, fragrance-free soap. In some cases, your artist may recommend keeping your tattoo wrapped overnight
○ For saniderm, second skin, or tegaderm bandages(sticky, clear bandage), leave on for 24-48 hours remove in shower under running water.
● Apply a thin layer of Aquaphor, A&D ointment or unscented lotion 2-3 times a day for the first 3-4 days. Then switch to unscented lotion until fully healed.
● Keep your tattoo out of sunlight while it is healing, at least 2 weeks. Once fully healed apply sunscreen to minimize fading or discoloration.
