Leave Derm Shield on for 4-7 days. It will protect your tattoo during its healing process. After the 4-7 days, gently peel away the Derm Shield back over itself. This will work best while under warm, running water. Once it has all been removed, wash your tattoo with Dial soap and warm water. Use unscented lotion for the remainder of the healing process or until the tattoo is no longer dry, flakey or itchy.

WITHOUT BANDAGE/ DERM SHIELD: OLD SCHOOL AFTERCARE

Wash the tattoo area thoroughly with antibacterial soap such as Dial Soap and warm water. Do not use anything abrasive like scrubs or exfoliators. Gently pat dry and apply a thin layer of Aquaphor. Try to do this step at least 3 times a day for the first 3 days.

• Avoid picking or scratching tattoo during the peeling stage

• Avoid direct sun exposure and do not soak the tattoo in water (pools and baths) for a least 2 weeks.

• If you have any questions please feel free to text me, most importantly treat your new tattoo as a open wound, proper aftercare plays a huge role in the finished product of your new tattoo.
