AFTER CARE
I recommend using toad and turnip herbal aftercare, aquaphor, or any unscented lotion. the goal is to keep your new tattoo hydrated but not over saturated. stick with a thin layer to ensure youre still allowing for the healing process
your new tattoo should take 2-4 weeks to be fully healed!
♡︎ unscented soap
♡︎water
♡︎ointment/unscented lotion
WHAT YOU’LL NEED:
avoid any harsh scrubbing or itching
avoid direct sunlight to your new tattoo for at least 2 weeks throughout the healing process. once fully healed, make sure to apply sunscreen to ensure longevity of your tattoo.
throughout the healing process you are going to want to avoid submerging your new tattoo in water. this means no baths, pools, hot tubs, etc. submerging your tattoo can cause ink to fall out or an infection.
(you can still shower)
if you have dermshield or saniderm on your new tattoo:
after 2-3 days(or earlier if any edges come up) you're going to gently remove the second skin using running water. let a bit run under one of the edges and slowly remove. do not rip it off like a bandaid. fucking owtch.
light scabbing and itchiness throughout the healing process is normal. do your best to avoid scratching at the area.
once removed ➜
gently wash with unscented soap and water daily.
you'll know your tattoo is fully healed when there is no more scabbing.
