Traditional Aftercare Instructions

1. Keep the bandage on for 3 hours.
2. After removing the bandage, cleanse with warm water and antibacterial, unscented soap.
3. Continue to wash the tattoo three times daily until it’s completely healed.
4. For the first three nights, wash the tattoo thoroughly, dry for 10 minutes, and cover it with plastic wrap overnight.
5. Following the third night, maintain the thrice-daily washing routine and apply an unscented lotion after each wash until the tattoo is fully healed.

Restrictions for 3 weeks:

Remember, your new tattoo is essentially an open wound.
Avoid swimming, baths, or soaking the tattoo in water.
Stay out of direct sunlight. Once healed, use at least SPF 50 sunscreen for protection.
Refrain from gym activities for at least a week. Always wash the tattoo post-exercise.
Ensure the tattoo remains clean and protected.

NOTE:

1. It’s common to see peeling, flaking, or scabbing of the skin over your tattoo. This is a normal part of the healing process. Avoid picking at it, and moisturize with an unscented lotion instead.

2. If you’re using a wrap (like SANIDERM or SARAN WRAP) over your tattoo, it’s normal to notice fluid accumulation beneath it, which may include ink, plasma, and blood. Ensure you wash the tattoo carefully after removing the wrap.

3. While your tattoo may appear healed within 2 weeks, full healing typically takes about 4 weeks. Please be patient and continue proper aftercare throughout this period.
