The saniderm is a medical-grade & breathable tattoo bandage that will be applied after the tattoo procedure. It stays on for 3 days (no more or less) and can be slept and showered on, covered by clothes, etc. It's very adhesive so no need to worry about it falling off, just like a sticker. Ink will spill inside the plastic and that is normal! Things to avoid while it's on: any submerging in bodies of liquid such as swimming, bathing, itching or sweating (working out or anything that makes you sweat a lot like running a mountain lol). Avoid prolonged direct sunlight or tanning for the two weeks as much as possible. Purchase any non-scented and/or antibacterial soap and lotion. Things that are safe for your face are typically what I suggest. Brands I recommend are Aveeno, Lubriderm, Gold Bond, CeraVe, Cetaphil, La Roche-Posay, PanOxyl, etc. I do NOT recommend petroleum-based products such as Aquaphor for certain reasons, one being that skin regeneration requires breathable products that are light but moisturizing enough. After 3 days: 1. Peel slowly from the top to bottom with lukewarm water running underneath the plastic and on the tattoo. Peeling it dry and/or in hot water can irritate/damage skin and potentially make it peel unhealthily. 2. Wash with antibacterial and/or unscented soap (ex. soaps that you use on your face such as Cetaphil, Lubriderm, CeraVe, etc.) 3. Pat dry with a clean towel. Do not scrub dead skin/sticky parts of the saniderm. 3. Immediately moisture with unscented lotion (ex. Aveeno) 2 to 3 times daily for two weeks and repeat until the peeling stages (2 weeks) are over! Little sticky parts may stick on your skin as well after taking the bandage off, but with enough showering and washing throughout the next few days, it should come off. No need to wash, soap and scrub the skin any more than you should in the instructions. Attempting to peel the sticky parts may damage your healing process as well. After you notice the crucial peeling stages are subsiding, then it is safe to discontinue washing your tattoo. The more important component is the moisture, especially during its peeling stages and continuing it further is suggested. I always request a healed picture as soon as the peeling stages are over. I would appreciate it so I know how well the tattoo goes for you. Any questions, email me!
