Healing & Aftercare

Typically after every tattoo I place a special bandage dressing called “saniderm” over each tattoo. Saniderm is a second skin product that is placed over a tattoo to protect it from the air, germs, and you! If you are not allergic to adhesive products, I will be placing saniderm on your tattoo once its completed for the day. The saniderm stays on for 3-5 days, then is removed on the last night during your evening shower.
After removing the saniderm, wash your tattoo with antibacterial soap, and pat dry. Afterwards a small amount of non scented lotion should be applied. Lotion should be applied as needed when feeling dry.
Tattoos are glorified wounds, they need to be treated like a wound. If I have not placed saniderm on you, the tattoo must be washed a MINIMUM of three times a day.
After each washing, the tattoo should be pat dry with a single clean paper towel. Once you have dried off the tattoo, a small amount of ointment should be applied on the tattoo.
After the first five days with your tattoo, you should be able to switch to using non scented lotion after every washing.
-
For ointment, I recommend:
Coconut oil
Hustle Buttle Tattoo Aftercare
Once your tattoo has started healing, switch to a fragrance-free lotion as needed to keep your skin moisturized.
-
During the healing process, avoid:
Swimming, hot tubs, or soaking your tattoo
Excessive sun exposure
Picking or scratching peeling skin
Tight clothing that rubs against the tattoo
Heavy sweating during the first few days whenever possible
Remember, your tattoo is healing like a wound, so treat it with care.
-
Yes! Peeling, flaking, and mild itching are all normal parts of the healing process.
Avoid scratching or picking at the tattoo, as this can affect healing and the final appearance of your tattoo.
