DOs:

• Keep it clean, dry, and moisturized
• Treat it like a wound that needs time to heal
• Try to keep the bandage on for at least 24 hours
• Change out your bandage after 24 hours
• Keep an eye out for signs of adhesive allergies, as some people are known to break out from second skin use.
• Shower as usual. 
• Call your artist with any issues you have

Don'ts:

• No pools, hot tubs, tanning beds, or excessive sun exposure
• No picking at your scab. Lightly slap or pat it instead
• Avoid strenuous exercise for the first few days, as excess sweat can interfere with the healing process
• Avoid scrubbing it in the shower. Instead, gently pat with warm water and soap and let the water rinse off the soap. Pat dry.
• Don't ignore your body. You know your body best, and if something is feeling off, please call your artist right away.
• Don't pay someone else to do a touchup. Touch-ups are FREE for the first year!
• Absolutely under no circumstances should you feed your tattoo after midnight. It never ends well...trust us.
