11/24/2023 0 Comments Keep it weird tattoo![]() Always wear sunscreen, tanning and sun fading will make a tattoo look dull and will diminish the pigments.ĭO NOT soak your new tattoo- no baths/swimming (running water/showering is ok). I highly recommend Sanibalm or Sanibalm+ from the makers of Saniderm. Long term care: Keeping your skin moisturized will keep your tattoo looking fresh and bright. This can take several weeks or several months. Your tattoo is fully healed when your skin is smooth and no longer shiny. You will most likely experience peeling and itchiness. Wash gently and apply a thin layer of Sanibalm or lotion/moisturizer to your tattoo.ĭay 8 +: Use thin layers of Sanibalm/lotion/moisturizer for several days or weeks until skin is smooth again. There will be dried ink and skin stuck to the Saniderm. (See drugstore products at QR code link.)ĭay 7: Now it’s time to remove. ![]() If the tattoo is exposed place another small piece of Saniderm (or similar product) to cover it. If your Saniderm peels up before the 6th day, carefully cut the excess off. It is harmful to the tattoo and to your health to leave a healing tattoo untreated. Doing so will result in color loss and can require a touch up at an additional cost. The bandage and area may smell a little bit, this is ok. (If you have an excessive amount of liquid collecting under your bandage and feel replacement is necessary, please check out the web link on the back of this page under Frequently Asked Questions.) You may notice the skin looks dry/peeling/crusty/“cracked”- this is normal. Apply 2nd Saniderm: remove the white paper backing first, apply sticky side to tattoo, then remove plastic backing (it’s ok if there are air bubbles/wrinkles).ĭay 2-6: Leave on for 6 FULL DAYS- During the next 6 days you may still have some plasma, ink, or blood. Pat dry with a paper towel and let air dry for 2-5 minutes making sure nothing touches it while airing out. ![]() You may consider removing your Saniderm under lukewarm or cool soapy water in the shower to loosen the adhesive. Wash thoroughly with plain anti-bacterial hand soap - no exfoliating beads, no oils, no scents. ![]() Don’t freak out over this.ĭay 2: Remove 1st bandage after 24 hours- peel off slowly (this may be uncomfortable). This is NORMAL and part of the healing process. You will notice plasma (looks like clear watery liquid), ink, and blood trapped in the bandage, and it may leak out of the Saniderm. You will have irritation, redness, bleeding, seeping, and ink collect under the bandage. Your first piece of Saniderm applied by the artist must be worn for 24 hours, do not remove it early. Day 1: So you got a new tattoo? It’s probably on fire- use ice packs or ibuprofen to reduce the stinging. ![]()
