TATTOO AFTERCARE INSTRUCTION

Tattoo aftercare instructions (with second skin tape):

Keep the second skin tape on for 3-5 days. This helps protect your tattoo from dirt and irritation, giving it a good start in the healing process.

After 3-5 days, remove the sticker under warm running water or in the shower. This helps easily take off the sticker, minimizing any discomfort.

Wash the tattoo gently with warm water and an antibacterial soap to clean off any residue. Avoid scrubbing; just use your hands to wash the area.

After washing, gently pat the area dry with a Bounty paper towel. Avoid using cloth towels, as they can hold bacteria.

Once dry, apply a thin layer of Aquaphor ointment 2-3 times a day for the next two weeks. This keeps the tattoo hydrated and promotes healing. Use only a thin layer to avoid clogging pores.

While the sticker is still on (first 3-5 days), avoid saunas, pools, and the ocean. These can expose the tattoo to bacteria and moisture, which could interfere with healing.

After the tattoo is fully healed, use sunscreen on it whenever it's exposed to sunlight. This keeps the colors vibrant and protects the details over time.
