SANIDERM:
Leave the bandage on 3- 5 days
If you notice any irritation or redness around the bandage, please let me know via email
You may shower but please avoid submerging the tattoo. This includes baths, lakes, rivers, oceans, pools, and hot tubs
Fluid buildup is normal. The tattoo will leak blood, ink and plasma, and make a dark pouch inside the bandage
If the bandage starts to leak or if you get sweaty, take it off, was the tattoo with anti-bacterial liquid soap, and apply a new bandage if needed
to remove the bandage use war running water and gently pull a corner parallel to your skin to stretch the bandage. Clean the tattoo with anti-bacterial liquid soap. If there’s any sticky residue left over, unscented baby oil or coconut oil can hep gently rub it off
Moisturize the tattoo with unscented lotion whenever it feels dry or tight
I do not recommend using petroleum based ointments
It’s normal for the tattoo to flake and peel. Try not to pick or scratch at it
Keep the tattoo out of direct sunlight until 3 weeks then use sunscreen if the tattoo is exposed
It takes 2-3 weeks for the tattoo to fully heal
