Aftercare Instructions
Second skin/Derm shield
(If not using skip this part)
-Once your tattoo session is done, if opted for, you’ll have an adhesive wrap placed on your tattoo.
-After approx 24 hrs, remove this carefully in the shower and wash with antibacterial soap. Dab excess water with clean paper towel and leave to dry for a few minutes.
-If supplied a second piece, reapply carefully to not form any air bubbles on the healing tattoo.
-Remove after 4-6 days, Give it a soft thorough wash, carefully dry and continue onto part 2.
Aftercare cream
-If wrapped in cling wrap, remove after an hour, clean well with anti bac soap and dry
-With clean hands, apply a small amount of aftercare cream to the healing area. (We stock and recommend After Art or Aftercare collective)
-Repeat every 3-4 hours, or as the tattoo begins to dry out. Don’t allow the tattoo to completely dry out for extended periods of time! This can cause cracking and scabbing, and will affect the healing process.
-Remember to wash your tattoo morning and night, and if it gets dirty or contaminated with anything. Continue this until fully healed. (do not apply cream during second skin use)
