The healing period is the most important time following your new tattoo. This will include minor inflammation for the first 24hrs, scabbing, itching, natural peeling of scabs, skin weeping and of dryness to the area.
When healing with protective bandage (Sandierm, Tattoo Derm, Second Skin) Keep
bandage dry, it can get wet while in the shower, but you should NOT allow it to soak. This bandage is waterproof for showering, but not water resistant to submerging or soaking
Remove adhesive bandage in 4-5 days & wash with warm water & fragrance-free antibacterial soap
