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

Wear the second skin bandage for 2-3 days. While you are wearing this, you do not need to clean your tattoo since it’s fully covered. You may shower as normal; showering doesn't affect the bandage’s adhesive. 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 in waters like rivers or pools. Avoid such water for 1-2 weeks, this prevents potential infection. Do not get a spray tan for 2 weeks. Do not sun bathe for 2 weeks.
If your skin develops an allergy to this adhesive, (itchy, red, bumps) please contact me or your doctor for further direction.

How to remove your bandage: Place the tattooed area under warm water (in the sink or shower). Peel the bandage off slowly. Clean it gently & thoroughly with antibacterial soap (Dial Gold brand). Do not use a sponge to clean the tattoo, it is too abrasive. 


Clean twice a day with antibacterial soap for about a week. Don’t use moisturizer on the first day. You do not ned moisturizer unless your tattoo is peeling or visibly dry.


Eventually, your tattoo might scab and itch a little, it's very important to care for your tattoo properly during this stage of healing. Do not itch your tattoo. Please use only my recommended products for moisturizing your tattoo, this will ensure optimal healing. I recommend vitamin E oil, coconut oil, Mad Rabbit tattoo balm or Rixx Lotion. Apple a thin layer, don’t glob it on. Please no CeraVe, no Vaseline, and no pharmacy store brands!

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

For long term care, exfoliate weekly, apply sunscreen when and moisturize as needed. Any further questions or comments, text Maddy at (310) 740 3258
