Aftercare Instructions

Keep second skin on for 3-7 days
if irritation from second skin occurs, remove promptly

AFTER REMOVING SECOND SKIN

  • Wash your hands before touching your tattoo

  • Gently wash the tattoo with lukewarm water and fragrance-free antibacterial soap 2-3 times daily

  • Pat dry with a clean paper towel (do not rub)

  • Apply a thin layer of tattoo aftercare ointment or fragrance-free moisturizer (I recommend Aquaphor)

  • Expect redness, soreness, flaking, and peeling—this is normal.

  • Wear loose, clean clothing over the area

  • Tattoo may itch—continue moisturizing

  • Skin may appear cloudy or dull while healing

  • Continue gentle care until fully healed
