SECOND SKIN:

Thank you for trusting me with your tattoo

Please follow the instructions below to ensure proper healing:

First 3-4 days

Your tattoo is covered with a protective “second skin” bandage.

It is normal to see some fluid (ink, plasma, or blood) build up underneath.

Keep the area clean and dry. Avoid excessive sweating.

Removing the Second Skin

After 3-4 days, gently remove the bandage.

It is easiest to do this in the shower under warm running water.

Peel slowly in the direction of your skin to avoid irritation.

Cleaning

Wash your tattoo gently with lukewarm water and mild, fragrance-free soap.

Pat dry with a clean towel or let it air dry.

Do not rub.

Aftercare (after removing the bandage)

Apply a very thin layer of fragrance-free moisturizer.

Repeat 2–3 times daily.

Do not over-moisturize your skin still needs to breathe.

Healing process

Light peeling and dryness are normal.

Do not scratch, pick, or peel the tattoo.

Avoid tight clothing rubbing against the area.

Avoid for at least 2 weeks

Swimming (ocean, pools, spas)

Direct sun exposure

Saunas or excessive sweating

Important

If you notice unusual redness, swelling, or signs of infection, please seek medical advice.
