Aftercare is an important part in the tattooing process. Proper aftercare will ensure your tattoo stays vibrant for years to come, and it is also integral in having a safe healthy healing process and keeping your fresh tattoo free of contaminants. The two methods of aftercare that recommend are either the use of SARAN WRAP or a SECOND SKIN. Both methods if done correctly will aide in the healing process of your new tattoo. No matter which of the two I recommend if you follow the instructions (listed below) your tattoo should heal without issue. below are detailed instructions for both recommended aftercare methods :
Saran Wrap:
Keep wrap on for two hours. After two hours remove wrap, and wash tattoo with anti bacterial soap and water. Pat dry with a paper towel or let air dry. (don’t use wash clothes or bath towels because they may harbor bacteria) For the first two weeks use an aftercare ointment.(Urbans Edge Tattoo Whip Recommended for faster heal time). No pools, saunas, Jacuzzis, or baths while it heals. No peeling any scabbing or flaking.
Second Skin Bandage:
Once Second skin is applied, leave on for five days. after five days remove second skin (carefully) in the shower using antibacterial soap and water. pat dry with a paper towel or let air dry. (No wash cloths or bath towels because they may harbor bacteria) For the following two weeks use Urbans Edge tattoo whip (preferred) or a non scented lotion. No pools, saunas, Jacuzzis or baths while it heals. No peeling any scabbing or flaking.
For best results for both methods I recommend the Urbans Edge Aftercare. It can be used to replace both the lotion and ointment and will shorten the heal time and help with any discomfort and itching.
