THE BANDAGE
It's recommended to keep the bandage on for 1-2 days. This keeps the sensitive area clean, and reduces risk of irritation and infections due to bacterial exposure. You can shower with it on, but do not soak the area or hold it directly under the water.
Remove the bandage if there is any discomfort or if it start to peel off breaking the barrier.
REMOVING THE BANDAGE
It is easiest to remove in the shower. Splash the bandage with lukewarm water and start peeling from the corners slowly. Do not panic if it sticks to the tattooed area. Continue splashing water and peel slowly. It should come off easily once wet.
HEALING PROCESS
KEEP IT CLEAN
Once you've removed the bandage. Wash the area with mild unscented liquid soap. Splash water indirectly while gently wiping away traces of blood, plasma or ink. Do not use wash-cloth, loofah, or sponge. Pat dry and let air-dry before applying lotion.
KEEP IT MOISTURIZED
Apply a very thin layer of lotion and rub in until it’s absorbed. A little goes along way. Clean your tattoo and apply lotion twice a day or as needed. Once it peels you can switch to regular lotion (AVENO) As it scabs it will become itchy. Do not scratch just lotion up.
SPECIAL ATTENTION
Your tattoo should be fully healed within 10-15 days.
DO NOT: pick, scratch, soak in water or expose to direct sunlight. Stay out of pools and saunas for the first week.
Most importantly don’t let anyone touch it.
