1. Minimize Touching: Avoid touching your new tattoo as much as possible.
2. Leave SecondSkin On: Keep the SecondSkin wrap on for approximately 3 – 5 days. ( it is waterproof you can shower with but don’t put it under water for long time it make second skin weak and it will loose it adhesive.)
3. Maintain Cleanliness: Ensure the SecondSkin remains clean and dry until it’s time to remove it.
4. Safe Removal: To remove the SecondSkin, gently peel up an edge or corner in the direction of hair growth. Avoid pulling upward, as it can be painful for some individuals.
5. Warm Shower: Consider removing the SecondSkin in a warm shower, as warm water can help loosen the adhesive and make removal easier.
6. Normal Healing: Expect some light weeping, scabbing, peeling, or flaking during the healing process; this is normal.
7. Healing Duration: Healing typically takes three weeks to a month to complete.
8. Gentle Cleansing: Wash the tattoo with a mild soap, avoiding direct contact with bar soap. Do not scrub; gently remove any lubricants until the skin no longer feels greasy.
9. Pat Dry: Use a clean towel or disposable paper towel to pat your tattoo dry carefully.
10. Moisturize Mindfully: Wait until the tattoo starts to feel dry and itchy before applying unscented, gentle lotion. Apply a thin layer once or twice a day as needed, avoiding over-saturation.
11. Avoid Scratching: Refrain from scratching your tattoo, as this can damage it and lead to scarring.
12. Water Caution: Avoid submerging your tattoo in water, whether in a pool, lake, ocean, or hot tub.
