Aftercare

It’s actually super simple. Imagine you fell over, and like, you have a cut…but your cut looks super sweet. That’s your tattoo.

We provide all of our clients with second skin.
When you leave, it'll be placed on your tattoo to protect it and you'll be given an aftercare sheet explaining what to do next. We'll pop that below!

1. Yay, new tattoo.

2. You've been fitted with a derma bandage (aka, the future).

3. Leave your dressing on for 3-5 days

If you have been provided with an additional dressing, apply it the next day.

4. Remove under warm water.

After 3-5 days, remove your dressing. Peel back a corner, and allow water to flow in to your dressing, this will weaken the adhesive. Slowly pull the stretchy plastic outwards, teasing it off of your tattoo. Take your time. Do not rip it off.

5. Wash with clean, soapy water.

If you have a sticky residue, it will come off with gentle soapy washing. Coconut Oil can also help to remove this - but it's normal and will come off eventually.

6. Moisturise (forever).

Moisturise lots for the first 10 days. Your tattoo will be dry and shiny as new skin grows. Keeping your tattoo moisturised will help fend off excessive itchiness, too.
