SECOND SKIN/SANIDERM AFTERCARE
​

• Keep the film on your tattoo for 3 - 4 days; maximum 7 days. There will be a build up of blood and plasma under the film, this is normal. Try not to pop or press on it. The edges may start to peel back during this time, you may trim the edges. 
• After a week, you can take off the film. Gently and slowly pull close to the skin, trying to avoid tugging at the tattooed area. 
• After taking off the film, the tattoo should be flat/dry and starting to flake lightly. Wash gently and let breathe for at least 6 hours before applying aftercare cream recommended to you by your tattoo artist.
• Apply a thin layer of cream at least twice a day for 3 weeks, or until your tattoo is fully healed (one week after scabbing completely stops)
• When your tattoo is almost completely healed. Continue normal aftercare for the next few weeks, applying cream only if your tattoo is too dry.
