Aftercare

Bandages

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.
★ 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.

After Removing the Bandage

Everyday:
★ Wash your tattoo 2-3 times a day with unscented soap and pat it dry with a clean paper towel.

After the First 3–5 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.
