• Most clients will leave with a Saniderm adhesive bandage applied
• Keep it on for 5–7 days
• Ink, blood, & plasma collecting underneath is normal
• Remove sooner if the bandage begins to peel off, leaks, fills with water, or causes redness, bumps, or irritation
• To remove, gently stretch the bandage parallel to your skin under warm running water (don't pull straight up)
• Peeling skin left on the bandage after removal is normal

• Some tattoos may be wrapped with seran/cling wrap instead of Saniderm, depending on placement, skin sensitivities, or artist preference
• Cling wrap is designed for short-term protection only and should be removed after 24 hours
• Once removed, gently wash your tattoo with an unscented soap, pat dry, and begin your normal aftercare routine of moisturizing

Once your Saniderm or cling wrap has been removed, begin the following aftercare routine:

• Wash your hands before touching your tattoo
• Gently wash your tattoo with unscented soap & warm water
• Pat dry with a clean paper towel (do not rub)
• Apply a thin layer of unscented moisturizer or specific tattoo product like Hustle Butter
• Continue washing and moisturizing 2–4 times daily until its 2 weeks healed

• Swimming, baths, hot tubs, lakes, and oceans for at least 1 month
• Picking, scratching, or peeling your tattoo
• Tight clothing that rubs the area
• Excessive sun exposure
