TIPS

  • If you notice your tattoo getting red or irritated or there is too much fluid underneath the Saniderm bandage, remove Saniderm immediately. Repeat Steps 2 and 3 of aftercare.
  • Do not expose the tattoo to extreme sunlight for 2 weeks or until the tattoo is completely healed. Once the tattoo is healed, apply sunblock to your tattoo if you know you’ll be out in the sun for long periods of time.
  • Do not swim or submerge your tattoo in water until the tattoo is completely healed.
  • If you work out, limit workouts to light workouts or take a break from it. Profuse sweating

may delay the healing process.

  • If possible, wear clothing that will allow your tattoo to breathe.
  • DO NOT, we repeat, DO NOT pick at or scratch your tattoo. This can damage the design of

your tattoo and your skin.

  • Remember, all tattoos heal at a different pace.
