Appointment Prep:

  • Hydrate & eat before your appointment

  • Wear comfortable clothing that allows access to the area your tattoo will be

    • Ex: for a back tattoo, you should bring a zip up jacket so the back will be accessible when seated.

  • Don’t drink alcohol or consume drugs before your appointment

Aftercare:

  • Keep your second skin bandage on for 3-5 days

    • Plasma & Ink might collect under your second skin bandage. This is completely normal.

    • If the bandage starts leaking or the tattoo gets exposed, remove the bandage.

  • After you remove the bandage you will wash your tattoo with fragrance-free, antibacterial soap

  • Make sure to avoid baths, pools, hot tubs while healing.

  • Apply a light layer of A&D for the first few days.

  • Make sure to moisturize with an unscented lotion, such as Lubriderm.

  • Avoid sun exposure.

  • Do not scratch your tattoo when it itches
