AFTERCARE

SANIDERM

• Leave the bandage on for 3 days

• During this time the bandage may fill up with blood, plasma and ink. This is normal!

• You may shower with the bandage but be mindful of cleaning around it as it may loosen the adhesive prematurely

• If the edges start to peel, feel free to trim them with a pair of scissors

• If at any point the tattoo becomes exposed, remove it and resume normal aftercare

• After the 3 days remove the bandage completely. Doing so under warm running water tends to make this easier

• Clean with antibacterial soap

• Pat dry with a paper towel

• Apply UNSCENTED lotion any time the tattoo feels dry for the next 2 weeks

• IF AT ANY POINT THERE IS REDNESS OR IRRITATION AROUND THE TATTOO SPECIFICALLY, REMOVE THE BANDAGE AND RESUME NORMAL AFTERCARE LISTED BELOW.

STANDARD AFTERCARE (SARAN WRAP)

• Leave bandage on for 1-2 hours

• Remove bandage when you have access to a clean bathroom and wash with antibacterial soap

• DO NOT RE-WRAP THE TATTOO

• Repeat 3 times a day for the first 3 days

• On days 4-14 switch to an unscented lotion of you preference any time the tattoo feels dry.
