TATTOO AFTERCARE

DERM SHIELD AFTERCARE

 

Congratulations on your new tattoo! 

By following these simple instructions, the healing process should be quick and easy.

​​

​


  • Derm Shield helps protect the tattoo from bacteria and other elements for the best possible healing.
  • Keep the Derm Shield on for 3-5 days. You can shower with it, try not to soak the area too much, as it will weaken the adhesive. Avoid taking baths.
  • You will see a buildup of blood and plasma mixed with ink under the Derm Shield, this is perfectly normal.
  • Once you are ready to take off the Shield, hop in the shower and let warm water run over you tattoo for a couple of minutes, that will help break away the adhesive. Start slowly peeling off the Derm Shield.
  • After you have remove the Derm Shield from your tattoo, make sure to gently wash it with unscented antibacterial soap and pat or air dry.
  • Apply a very thin layer of suggested aftercare ointment 2-3 times a day for 2 weeks, until the tattoo is fully healed (no more peeling, dry, or cracked skin).
  • DO NOT PICK OR SCRATCH the tattoo at all as this can damage it during healing.
  • Keep out of saltwater, prolonged sun exposure, and chlorine for at least 4 weeks.
  • DO NOT re-bandage the tattoo after the initial bandage is removed. (unless instructed by me)
  • Suggested Aftercare: Lubriderm

STANDARD AFTERCARE first 2-3 houRS


  • Leave bandage on for 2-3 hours and until you are in a safe and clean environment to remove and clean the tattoos.
  • Before cleaning or touching the tattooed area, WASH HANDS thoroughly with soap and warm water.
  • Carefully remove the bandage without force. DO NOT pull bandage upwards. Sometimes excess color will come off on the bandage (this is normal).
  • If it sticks, wet the applied bandage and gently pull off so as not to damage any scabs or dry areas.
  • After removing the bandage, cleanse the area with mild soap and water. Gently rub with fingertips to remove plasma. Do not scrub the tattoo. Pat dry with a clean and dry paper towel.
  • Let the tattoo air dry completely for at least 10 minutes.
  • Apply a thin layer of ointment. We have aftercare available (Aquaphor is also acceptable). Pat any excess ointment with a dry paper towel. Applying too much ointment can cause breakouts.
  • Do not apply a new bandage to the tattoo after the first is removed.

3-5 DAYS


  • Continue to cleanse the tattoo for 3-5 days. Apply ointment 3-4x a day.
  • Do not allow tattoo to become dry. If a scab does form, DO NOT pick it, let it heal on its own.
  • Your tattoo will start to peel about 3-5 days later. At this point, switch to a fragrance free lotion or gentle moisturizer such as Lubriderm, as needed until completely healed.
  • Itching is expected. NEVER pick, scratch or peel it. This may result in loss of color.

GENERAL


  • Tattoos take 3-4 weeks to fully heal. 
  • Once healed, regularly moisturize to keep skin soft and color bright
  • Avoid swimming and sun exposure for at least 2 weeks.
  • Sun exposure can damage a tattoo, always use a sun block with strong SPF when outdoors.

Do not use

 

  • Vaseline or petroleum jellies
  • Soap with fragrance, moisture beads or scrubs
  • Medicated ointment such as Neosporin
  • Iodine, peroxide, or alchohol-based solutions
