Tattoo Aftercare:
***The first Derm Shield application should stay in place for 24 hours, depending on the level of exudation. It is normal for blood and fluids to collect under the bandage. The second application provided during your appointment can be used for several days. Gently clean with anti bacterial soap ONLY and dry the area between applications. Do not wear any piece longer than a week***
Do not remove the bandage until you are able to properly wash your tattoo
Wash last in the shower with liquid antibacterial soap. Use ONLY clean hands to wash your tattoo (no washcloths, loofas, etc.)
Let tattoo air dry, or pat dry with paper towel, then apply a moderate amount of fragrence-free, water-based body lotion. Be sure to use only pump or squeeze tube soaps and lotions, avoid bars of soap and tubs of ointment/lotion.
Do not scratch or pick at tattoo, if your tattoo feels itchy you may wash it then moisturize it to alleviate soreness
Avoid applying soap to your tattoo more than 3 times a day
Do not submerge your tattoo in water, expose to direct sunlight/tan, or soak your tattoo for the first two weeks. Do not expose your tattoo to furniture, rough clothing, gym equipment/mats or other public surfaces. If unavoidable, wash before and after and wrap your tattoo in plastic wrap during if the dermshield is not currently in place
After 3 weeks or so, your tattoo should be all healed up! Feel free to reach out with any aftercare questions!
