Heal it right.
Saniderm on
A breathable, waterproof medical bandage protects the fresh tattoo. You can shower with it on. Allergic to medical adhesive or latex? Tell your artist and we’ll use a standard bandage.
Peel it slowly
Remove the bandage in a warm shower, slowly and at your own pace. Gently wash with unscented soap and pat dry with a clean paper towel.
Thin & unscented
Apply a thin layer of Aquaphor, Lubriderm or any unscented lotion for about two weeks, until the skin returns to its pre-tattooed texture. No gym or workouts for 4-5 days while the wrap is on.
Hands off
Some flaking and itching is normal. Don’t scratch, pick or rub, it can cause infection and patchy colour. Stay out of direct sun and tanning beds until fully healed.
Protect the art
Once healed, use SPF 15+ sunblock on your tattoo whenever it’s exposed. Sun is the number one reason ink fades.
Do
- Keep it clean and lightly moisturised
- Wear loose, clean clothing over it
- Drink water, sleep well
- Use SPF 15+ once healed
Don’t
- Swim, soak or bathe until healed
- Work out for 4-5 days
- Scratch, pick or peel flakes
- Tan or sit in direct sun
