Aftercare

LEAVE BANDAGE ON FOR 3-4 DAYS UNLESS: 
  • Water gets inside bandage ( you can shower with the                                                         bandage on)
  • A large amount of plasma/ ink starts to leak out.                                                                (minimal fluid is fine)
  • Edges begin to peel, exposing any part of the tattoo.
IF YOU MUST REMOVE THE ADHESIVE WITHIN THE FIRST 6 HOURS, PLEASE DO THE FOLLOWING:
  • Gently remove the wrap underwater or in the shower.
  • Clean the tattoo with paper towels and unscented soap.
  • Re-wrap the tattoo with saran wrap and apply medical tape/ self adhesive tape along the edges.
  • Remove the saran wrap in the morning, clean with paper towels and unscented soap and leave unwrapped.
  • Wear loose fitting clothes.

SANIDERM/RECOVERY DERM

REMOVING SANIDERM/RECOVERY DERM

Remove in the shower with warm water. Do not use hot water as you can risk melting the bandage.  Roll it off gently as you are running it under warm water.  Do not rip the bandage off, be kind to your skin as it is recovering from the tattoo process and already dealing with irritation.
