What's is my Aftercare (2nd Skin Bandage)?

7/6/26, 12:00 PM

Aftercare for the sticky bandage (new-ish technology).

1. Leave clear bandage on for 2-4 days.
2. The bandage is water-resistant but not water-proof. It is safe to shower with but be cautious to make sure shower water does not enter underneath the bandage. It is normal to see plasma fluid inside the bandage. This won’t harm the tattoo.
3. Once you are ready to remove the bandage, do so in a hot shower and gently peel off. Once fully removed, wash with antibacterial soap.
Make sure all adhesive residue is removed. Dry with clean paper towel and lightly moisturize with non-scented lotion or a THIN layer of Aquaphor.
4. Continue to wash your tattoo 2-3x a day with warm water & antibacterial soap for the following 7-10 days. Make sure hands are always clean when touching your fresh tattoo. Continue to moisturize after washing/drying.
Tattoo will eventually start to peel (this is normal). Don’t itch or scratch.

Notes:
Refrain from doing extreme workouts (if sweat is trapped underneath the bandage, remove the bandage). Proceed with aftercare.
*If you notice any type of irritation from the bandage, remove immediately and proceed with aftercare.
Feel free to DM/email me with any questions or concerns.
