2-3 DAYS after the appointment

​

✿ Gently peel off one corner of the second skin in the shower, and continue to peel off the rest slowly towards yourself. It's normal to have dried blood or residual ink on the second skin.

 

✿ Wash the tattooed area gently with non-scented soap or body wash. Avoid rubbing or picking on the skin. Rinse with water.

​

✿Let the tattooed area air dry, or pat dry with a clean towel/cloth. Apply a thin layer of non-scented moisturizer (Aveeno, Cetaphil, etc.) or Polysporin. Continue to apply moisturizer/cream twice a day for the next 5 days. Shower as usual.

​

​

7-21 DAYS after the appointment

​

✿ Avoid sun exposure or any cross-contaminating water (pools, SPA, bath, beach, etc). 

​

✿Scabs will start forming, and you will feel the tattooed area being dry/itchy. Avoid scratching/picking on the area. Apply moisturizer to help with dryness.

​

✿ Your tattoo is completely healed when it becomes matte with no sign of peeling or glossiness.
