Aftercare

Hypafix Bandage (Second Skin):
You can keep your bandage on for 24–48 hours, or remove it whenever you like.

It's waterproof.

Remove your bandage in the shower, after completing your normal shower routine.

When ready, run warm water over the bandage. Carefully lift one of the edges and slowly pull it away from the tattoo, instead of over the tattoo.

Once the bandage is off, gently clean your tattoo with unscented soap.

Alternative Bandage:
Leave your bandage on for at least 2 hours.

Clean your tattoo gently with unscented soap and warm water.

Every Day:
After removing your bandage, wash your tattoo 2-3 times a day with unscented soap and pat it dry with a clean paper towel.

After The First 4-5 Days Without a Bandage:
Your tattoo will most likely start to dry out and flake.

Wash it, then apply a very thin layer of unscented lotion.

Avoid over-moisturizing. Make sure your tattoo is completely dry before putting on moisturizer.

Extra Info:
Always wash your hands before cleaning your tattoo.

Avoid touching, scratching, or picking at your tattoo.

Wear loose clothing while your tattoo is healing.

No direct sunlight, baths, hot tubs, or swimming for 2-3 weeks.

Avoid using sunscreen until it’s fully healed.

Follow the aftercare routine, and you’ll be all set!
