First 3–5 Days
You’ll leave the studio with Saniderm covering your tattoo.
- Leave the bandage on for 3–5 days.
- Avoid removing it early.
When you remove the bandage:
- Wash gently with cool water and fragrance-free soap.
- Pat dry and allow the tattoo to air dry for a few hours.
- Apply a light layer of fragrance-free moisturizer.
Healing
Healing typically takes 10–14 days.
You may experience soreness, itching, and light flaking. This is normal. Keep the tattoo clean and lightly moisturized until the surface no longer appears shiny.
Itching
- Do not scratch or pick.
- Scratching can cause infection and ink loss.
- Lightly tapping the area with clean hands can help relieve itching.
Sun Exposure
- Avoid direct sun while healing.
- Cover the tattoo if outdoors.
Once healed, apply high-SPF sunscreen when exposed to sunlight.
Water
- Avoid soaking the tattoo for up to three weeks.
- No baths, swimming, or hot tubs.
- Clean gently after sweating or exercise.
Long-Term Care
Protect your tattoo from UV exposure and keep it moisturized for best long-term results.
Once healed, feel free to send me a photo — I’d love to see it.
