Second Skin

Leave the second skin on for 1 - 3 days. If you have a reaction or if blood/plasma leaks, remove immediately. Remove with warm water (preferably in the shower) and pat dry with a paper towel.

Cleaning

Wash gently with water or with a mild, fragrance-free soap. Clean away all blood, plasma, and ink residue to prevent heavy scabbing. Always keep the tattoo clean - this is the most important step.

Moisturising

The tattoo may become dry and form a light scab. Apply a thin layer of moisturizer 2x daily.
Apply more if needed. Recommended options:

•   Cicaplast Baume B5+ (with no SPF)

•   Tattoo-specific balm (e.g. Bepanthen Tattoo, Hustle Butter)

•   Coconut oil

Remember:

•   Wear loose fitted clothing

•   Keep your tattoo out of the sun

•   Don't put SPF on your fresh tattoo, only after it's fully healed

•   Don't submerge your new tattoo in water

•   Try not to scratch your new tattoo no matter how itchy
