DO NOT SUBMERGE YOUR TATTOO FOR AT LEAST 2 WEEKS (showers are fine and encouraged)
Aftercare with tagaderm (second skin)
- Leave on 3-4 days (unless any part is exposed to air, leaks, gets torn, or comes off on its own)
- Take off in the shower under running water. Use unscented soap and pull at the edges like a command strip to remove
- Some adhesive may be left behind. To remove, continue gently rubbing with unscented soap under running water or use coconut oil.
- Wash at least once a day until the tattoo no longer feels raw. It will start to peel and feel dry and itchy.
- Once the tattoo is in the dry, peeling phase, apply unscented lotion (e.g. Lubriderm) as needed until fully healed.
Aftercare without tagaderm OR if tagaderm comes off early
- Sleep in bandaging for the first night and remove first thing in the morning.
- Immediately wash with unscented soap. Rub gently with hand to remove any seepage and dry with a very clean towel.
- Wash 2-3 times a day with the unscented soap until the tattoo starts to peel and feels dry and itchy (about 1 week after appointment).
- Once the tattoo is in the dry, peeling phase, apply unscented lotion (e.g. Lubriderm) as needed until fully healed.
