Aftercare & Healing

Bandage Aftercare

Leave the bandage on for the recommended time (2-3 days)

Wash hands thoroughly before touching the tattoo

Slowly remove the bandage under running water

Gently wash the tattoo with unscented soap

Pat dry with a clean paper towel

If instructed to change out the bandage after 24hrs, make sure to pat your skin dry after washing it before applying the 2nd bandage (leave on for 3-5 days).

Allergic reactions are rare but if irritation or rashes occur, remove the bandage and it should settle down.

How long does it take to heal?

Initial healing takes about 2 weeks, but complete healing can take up to 1-2 months. Follow the aftercare instructions carefully to ensure proper healing.
