Your tattoo will be covered with Derm Shield also known as Second Skin.

Leave this bandage on for 2–3 days.

During this time:

• Your tattoo may release ink and plasma under the bandage — this is normal

• Avoid excessive sweating

• Avoid swimming, baths, hot tubs, or saunas

• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight

• Tight clothing rubbing the tattoo

• Quick showers are fine

Do not remove the bandage early unless it becomes damaged or leaking.

I recommend using fragrance-free products to clean and moisturize your new tattoo once you remove the Derm Shield.

Use this time to purchase any of the following products:

SOAPS

• Dr. Bronner’s Baby Unscented

• Dial Gold Antibacterial

LOTIONS

• CeraVe Daily Moisturizing Lotion

• Lubriderm Daily Moisture

Discontinue Immediately if you see any signs of an allergic reaction to these products.

After 2–3 days, remove the bandage and gently clean your new tattoo.

Best Method:

• Take a warm shower

• Slowly peel the bandage downward

• Move slowly to avoid irritating the skin

Once the bandage is removed:

• Use a fragrance-free antibacterial soap

• Gently clean using your fingertips only

• Rinse with lukewarm water

• Pat dry with a clean paper towel

• Apply a thin layer of moisturizer

Avoid using washcloths, sponges, bar soaps and hot water. Using too much lotion can affect the final results and slow healing.

For the next 10–14 days:

Clean and moisturize your tattoo 2–3 times a day.

Your tattoo may:

• Peel

• Flake

• Feel itchy (Do not pick or scratch)

This is completely normal.

Do not apply:

• Vaseline

• Alcohol

• Hydrogen peroxide

• Scented lotions

Healing happens in stages and may vary based on your skin sensitivity & overall health.

Days 1–3

Tattoo may feel tender and slightly swollen

Days 4–10

Peeling and light flaking begin

Days 10–14

Skin settles and itching decreases

Full healing:

Approximately 3–4 weeks

Large or heavy tattoos may take longer.

Once healed, apply SPF sunscreen, keep your skin moisturized, and avoid excessive sun exposure. This keeps your tattoo bold, vibrant, and long-lasting.

Infections are uncommon with proper care, but early attention is important to prevent complications.

If you notice any of the following:

• Excessive redness/swelling after a few days

• Yellow or green discharge, or unusual odor

• Severe pain, heat, or irritation

It’s been a pleasure working with you.
