What to Do without derm shield

• Wash your hands

• Wash your tattoo with fragrance free soap and warm water

• Pat – don’t rub – your tattoo dry with a clean paper towel

• Apply a thin layer of aftercare to your tattoo and switch to fragrance free lotion after 2–3 days

• Repeat 2–3 times a day for 2 weeks or until the tattoo has finished peeling

Derm Shield Instructions

• Keep it on 1–3 days… fluid buildup is normal

• Do not take hot showers or let your bandage be in direct sun - the adhesive will get melty and leave a film​

• When removing, gently pull back over the bandage – best done in the shower

• Keep it moisturized as needed with fragrance free lotion

What Not to Do

• Pick at your tattoo 

• Submerge your tattoo before it is done healing (about 2 weeks)

• Expose your tattoo to prolonged, direct sunlight

• Get your tattoo all sweaty – allow 2 days before you hit the gym
