After Care Instructions for Fine Line Tattoos

• At the end of your session your tattoo will be covered with Saniderm or a similar clear film product. Keep this on for up to 3 days. Saniderm is waterproof, yet breathable. You can get it wet, but avoid submerging.    
  • ​You may see lymph fluid or ink build up under the film, but it’s fine. This actually helps moisturize while healing.
• After 3 days remove film by stretching and gently pulling off preferably in the shower or with some water.
• Cleanse tattoo twice a day with antibacterial, fragrance-free soap such as Dial and apply A&D ointment for 1-2 weeks. Do not use Vaseline or 100% petroleum products as they are too occlusive and will not allow the wound to breathe.
• If Saniderm comes off before the 3 days, avoid submerging in water and begin the cleansing twice a day process sooner. 
• Keep tattoo moisturized. After scabs have fallen off you can switch to a fragrance-free lotion or moisturizer such as Lubriderm, Cera Ve, or Eucerin. 
• DO NOT PICK SCABS! This can cause poor healing, uneven pigment and scarring. 
• To keep longevity and vibrancy of your tattoo, apply sunscreen once healed if you will be in the sun for prolonged amounts of time. Always keep it moisturized.
• Complimentary touch ups after at least 6 weeks from initial tattoo appointment. 
• If there are any signs of infection seek medical attention.
