Protect Your Ink

Your tattoo will heal over the course of 2–3 weeks. During that time, the only two things you should use on it are a scent-free antibacterial soap and a healing ointment such as Aquaphor or A&D ointment. Avoid petroleum or Vaseline — those can fade ink.

First 24–48 Hours
  • Leave Saniderm/second skin wrap on for 24–48 hours
  • After removing, lather with scent-free antibacterial soap and rinse
  • Apply a thin layer of Aquaphor or A&D ointment as needed throughout the day
  • Clean with soap between ointment applications when possible
  • Avoid petroleum jelly or Vaseline — these can fade your ink
Weeks 1–3
  • Continue washing and applying ointment 2–3 times daily
  • Do NOT pick, scratch, or peel flaking skin
  • Do NOT swim for at least 4 weeks — chlorine strips ink, natural water causes infection
  • Avoid direct sunlight on the tattoo for 1–2 weeks
Long Term
  • Use sunscreen or SPF moisturizer after the 3-week healing period to prevent fading
  • Keep skin moisturized
  • Touch-ups available if needed
  • Contact us with any healing concerns
