TRADITIONAL AFTERCARE

The healing process usually takes 2-4 weeks to be fully healed. 

• Leave wrapped for two hours after getting the tattoo. 

• Clean tattoo with unscented soap immediately after removing bandage. 

• Let air dry, then use a small amount of unscented moisturizer to keep from drying out.

• Days 1-5: Clean your tattoo 2-3 times a day with unscented soap. Slightly moisturize after cleaning. 

• Days 6-12: Clean tattoo 2 times a day. Be mindful of any scabbing that may have started and DO NOT pick or wipe off scabs. Keep slightly moisturized. 

• Days 12 and Beyond: Wash tattoo at the beginning of the day and keep slightly moisturized until your skin returns to normal. 

If redness persists after 6-8 days reach out to your artist and contact a medical professional.

SANIDERM AFTERCARE

Saniderm is a thin transparent film used to protect new tattoos 

against fluids, friction, bacteria, and viruses. 

• The morning after your new tattoo make sure it is clean and dry to the touch using an unscented antibacterial soap and a paper towel.

• Peel off the white protective layer on the saniderm. Apply the sticky surface to your skin, covering the entire tattoo area. 

• Remove the hard clear plastic side leaving behind a smooth flexible surface.

• Leave on for 5 - 7 days. Once removed continue to lightly lotion until fully healed.

If redness persists after 6-7 days reach out to your artist and contact a medical professional.
