Aftercare

Proper aftercare is essential to ensure your tattoo heals efficiently and maintains its quality for years to come. Please follow these five steps carefully:

Ⅰ. Second Skin Application

After completing your tattoo, I will apply a protective film called “Second Skin.” This layer acts as a barrier, mimicking a second layer of skin to shield your tattoo during the initial healing phase.

☻ The Second Skin should remain in place for 5 to 7 days.

☻ During the first 24 hours, it is normal for plasma (clear fluid), ink, or a small amount of blood to collect under the film. This is part of the healing process.

☻ If a large bubble of fluid forms under the Second Skin, it may need to be removed and replaced with a fresh application.

Ⅱ. Removing the Second Skin

When ready to remove the film:

☻ Begin by gently peeling back one edge or corner of the Second Skin.

☻ Slowly pull the film off while supporting your skin to reduce any discomfort.

Ⅲ. After Removal

Once the Second Skin is removed, follow these steps:

☻ Clean your tattoo gently with lukewarm water and a mild, fragrance-free soap. Pat it dry with a clean, soft towel.

☻ Keep your tattoo hydrated using organic coconut oil or a high-quality tattoo aftercare product. Apply a thin, even layer as needed, avoiding over-moisturization, which can hinder healing.

Ⅳ. Alternative Aftercare (Without Second Skin)

If you opt not to use the Second Skin:

☻ Keep the tattoo clean and dry for the first 48 hours.

☻ Starting on Day 3, begin applying a light layer of aftercare product or organic coconut oil whenever your tattoo feels dry or itchy. Always prioritize cleanliness during this time.

Ⅴ. Important Precautions

☻ Avoid direct sunlight, swimming (pools, oceans, or hot tubs), and activities that may expose the tattoo to bacteria until it is fully healed.

☻ Once healed, protect your tattoo with a high-SPF sunscreen to preserve its vibrancy and prevent fading.


By following these aftercare steps, your tattoo will heal beautifully and remain a lasting piece of art. If you have any concerns or questions during the healing process, don’t hesitate to reach out.
