Leave the bandage on for 2–4 hours (or as I tell you at your appointment). Wash your hands, then gently clean the tattoo with lukewarm water and unscented antibacterial soap. Pat dry with a paper towel, don't rub.
Wash twice a day, pat dry, apply a thin layer of fragrance-free lotion or aftercare balm. Don't overdo the lotion, it needs to breathe. Never pick, scratch, or peel scabs, let them fall off on their own.
Direct sunlight, swimming or soaking (pools, hot tubs, baths, showers are fine), heavy sweating, tight clothing or friction on the area, and other people or pets touching it.
Once healed, use SPF 30+ any time it's in the sun, this keeps linework and color sharp for years.
If you've been sent home with a second skin (Saniderm-style) bandage, leave it on for 3–5 days. It's waterproof, so you can shower normally, just avoid soaking, scrubbing, or picking at the edges.
Some fluid, ink, or plasma pooling under the bandage in the first day or two is normal, this is your body healing. If it's leaking heavily from the edges or lifting significantly, remove it early and switch to the traditional aftercare routine.
Remove in a warm shower, peeling slowly and low to the skin in the direction of hair growth. Never rip it off. Warm water helps loosen the adhesive.
Once the bandage is off, wash gently with unscented soap and switch to the daily care routine above, lotion twice a day, no soaking, no direct sun until fully healed.
