Tattoo Aftercare

Depending on your artist and skin sensitivities, you will be provided with one of the following aftercare methods:

DERM SHIELD AFTERCARE:

Leave the Recovery Derm Shield on for 4-5 days. It will protect your tattoo during it's healing process. After the 4-5 days, gently peel away the Derm Shield by pulling down from the corners. This will work best while under warm, running water. Once it has all been removed, wash your tattoo with Dial antibacterial soap and warm water. Use unscented lotion after washing for the remainder of the healing process (Day 5-14).

If at any point in the first 5 days the Derm Shield begins to peel or rip, allowing liquid or air into the tattoo, remove the Derm Shield and continue until day 5 washing your tattoo with Dial antibacterial soap 2-3x/day and applying a VERY THIN layer of Aquaphor after patting dry with a paper towel.

SARAN WRAP/BANDAGE AFTERCARE:

- Leave wrap on for 3-4 hours
