• 
  - Leave Second skin on for at least 24 hours. Try to keep it on for 4-6 days. (Only remove bandage early if skin feels irritated/uncomfortable, and immediately wash tattoo after removal)

• ​

- When removing the bandage, recommended to please do so in the shower, and gently wash with unscented soap. Pat to dry.

- After 24 hours of bandage removal, apply a THIN layer of a plain, white, unscented lotion. (We recommend Aveeno or Lubriderm, Aquaphor)

- Apply moisturizer 1-2 times/day. ( Dime size, Do not over moisturize)

- Do NOT pick or scratch at your healing tattoo. (It will get itchy!)

- Keep your tattoo as dry as you can while healing. Showering is totally fine, just don’t soak or scrub it. No baths. No swimming. No Jacuzzi's.

- Stay out of the sun while your tattoo is healing. NO tanning.

*Do NOT apply sunscreen on a healing tattoo* (however, using sunscreen once the tattoo is healed is an excellent way to keep the tattoo looking fresh! The sun will damage/fade your tattoo over the years, so the more sunscreen, the better!)

- Do not re-bandage the tattoo while its healing.

- KEEP IT CLEAN

Your tattoo will take approximately 3 weeks to heal (although everyone heals at different speeds). For best results, please follow the instructions listed above.
