Aftercare Instructions with Second Skin
To do
After the session
- Leave the second skin on the fresh tattoo for at least 3–5 days.
- If it falls off earlier, don’t worry – continue with the next step.
- If the second skin starts to peel off, remove it gently and with care.
- After you have removed the second skin, wash the tattoo gently with warm water and pH-neutral soap.
- Once the second skin is off, start applying a very thin layer of tattoo cream 3× a day.
To avoid
- Sauna, swimming pools, sports
- Heavy sweating for 10–14 days
- Scratching, friction or picking off scabs
- Itching is normal
- Tight clothing
- Air helps healing
- Dirt and pet hair
- Cover your tattoo when necessary
- Sun
- Keep it out of the sun for 4 weeks, then apply sunscreen
