Steps for aftercare
Sandierm: Keep bandage on maximum 4 days
No saniderm: Remove bandage after 4-6 hours
Right after bandage is removed use clean hands to wash the tattoo with
non-scented antibacterial soap like Dial Gold. Pat dry with paper towel & let breathe.
For the next few days only wash the tattoo as needed. 3-4X a day isn't necessary unless you've sweated over it, gotten it dirty or irritated. Keep it clean but keep it dry. Moisture is a breeding ground for infection & your pores need to breathe to heal!
After a few days your tattoo will become dry & flaky. You can apply a small amount of Organic Coconut Oil or Lubriderm Lotion as needed to keep your tattoo moisturized and prevent any scabs from cracking. Coconut oil naturally reduces inflammation, helps heal wounds & possesses antimicrobial properties.
By the end of two weeks you will gradually lotion less to the point where you won't need to anymore. Your skin is amazing and will heal on its own. Keeping it simple, minimal & dry ensures the best of heals.
After healed, SPF 30+ when outside ensures the longest lasting tattoos.
