AFTER CARE INSTRUCTIONS

Proper aftercare is essential to ensure your tattoo heals well and looks its best.

Saniderm Flex Aftercare

Remove the bandage after 24 hours. Wash gently with warm water and unscented antibacterial soap, then pat dry. Apply a new Saniderm sheet and leave it on for 3–5 days. Do not puncture or drain any fluid buildup. If irritation occurs — most commonly redness and possible swelling around the edges of the bandage (very uncommon) — remove immediately and switch to the aftercare below.

​

Old School Aftercare

Remove the bandage or wrap after 2–3 hours. Gently wash the tattoo with warm water and an unscented, antibacterial soap. Avoid fragranced soaps or lotions. Pat dry—never rub.

Apply a small amount of A&D; ointment 3–5 times daily for the first 2–3 days, or whenever the tattoo feels dry. Use only a thin layer—if it looks shiny, it’s too much. Overuse can prevent proper healing.

After 2–3 days, switch to a fragrance-free lotion such as Curel, Lubriderm, or Eucerin Original Moisturizing Cream.

What to Avoid

Stay out of direct sunlight for 2 weeks. Do not pick or scratch. Avoid soaking (baths, pools, hot tubs). Showering is fine, but avoid direct water pressure.
