If your tattoo was dressed with Tegaderm (second skin bandage), you can leave it on for 5-7 days as long as there's no irritation or increased redness. Remove it gently with soap, water, and your fingertips. If the bandage sticks to healing spots, be patient to avoid damaging the tattoo. Tattoos bandaged this way usually heal quickly and need no further care after removal. You can shower with Tegaderm, but avoid baths and activities that cause sweating. If you need to care for the tattoo after removing Tegaderm or if another bandage was used, wash the tattoo with soap, water, and your fingertips 2 hours after the bandage was applied. Then, apply a non-scented, water-based lotion in a thin layer. Repeat as needed throughout the day. If the tattoo feels dry or tight, apply more lotion. Recommended lotions include Hustle Butter, Tattoo Goo, Lubriderm 24, and Recovery Glide. The goal is to keep the tattoo from drying out and forming a hard scab. Wash your tattoo as often as you shower or if it gets dirty. If you have more questions, feel free to stop by the shop or contact me directly.
