First of all, listen to your body and what it needs.
Basics Post Tattoo
If you chose to use Second Skin, take the wrap off after 2-3 days
Gather the bandage starting at the top in the direction of the growth of your hair (think, like peeling off a command strip)
Once wrap is removed, wash gently with any unscented antibacterial soap. A little does the trick. Do not scrub, just gently wash.
Pat dry with a clean towel or let air dry.
Put a thin layer of unscented lotion (any white uncounted lotion you have works great). You can also use tattoo salves, coconut oil, jojoba oil or cocoa butter for moisturizing in the long term but wait until initial healing is done.
Moisturize 2-3x a day until healed, this will be about 2-3 weeks from getting your tattoo.
Continue to moisturize for 6 months -1 year for optimum healing (but for realz moisturize forever for the overall health of all your skin)
Important Reminders
No working out (purposely sweating) while Second Skin/wrap is still on. If you do sweat, take wrap off ASAP and begin the cleaning/healing process.
No soaking in water or swimming for a minimum of 2 weeks.
No sun for 2 weeks, sunscreen can be applied after 2 weeks.
The Second Skin/wrap is water resistant, but quick showers for the days that you have the bandage on is recommended.
Healing process may take 2-6 weeks. Scabbing or peeling may occur — DO NOT pick at scabs or scratch peeling skin.
Consult a physician at the first sign of an adverse reaction (i.e., swelling, infection, illness or allergic reaction)
