Thank you for putting your trust in me to give you a tattoo! 

Wear the second skin for 2-3 days. You do not need to take care of the tattoo during this time, just leave it be. You may shower/get the area wet as normal, this bandage is water proof. What to avoid while the bandage is on, do not sweat ie:(hot yoga & saunas), intense sweating will push the ink out(not worth it, trust). Also, do not soak the area for a long period of time rivers/jacuzzis for 1-2 weeks. Showers are ok. Do not get a spray tan for 2 weeks. Do not sun bathe for 2 weeks.

How to remove your bandage: Place the tattooed area under warm water (in the sink or shower). Peel the bandage off slowly, then clean it gently & thoroughly with antibacterial soap (Dial or Softsoap). Do not use a sponge to clean the tattoo, it is too abrasive. *If your skin develops an allergy to this adhesive, (itchy, red, bumps) please take off the bandage carefully and contact me.

For the next several days following you taking the second skin off, clean it gently & thoroughly with antibacterial soap. Do not moisturize right away, moisturize only when your tattoo is dry/itchy/peeling which might happen ~5-10 days after the tattoo was done. And definitely do not itch. For moisturizer recommendations, please consider: vitamin E oil, nourishing unscented balms, or an unscented lotion. Moisturize as needed. just a thin layer will do, don’t glob it on too thick.

Later down the road, if we agree that a touch up is needed, touch ups are free unless the tattoo is on your hand/fingers, behind the ear, or if it's in colored ink: these touch ups cost $80.

For long term care, exfoliate weekly, apply sunscreen and moisturize often. Any questions or comments, text Maddy at
