AFTERCARE

HOW TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR TATTOO

Depending on the: size/placement/type of tattoo you have, I may or may not apply Saniderm/second skin

WITH Saniderm

  • Leave the second skin on for 4 days. IF the second skin comes off before then, it is no problem, just proceed with the following steps. 
  • Peel off saniderm in the shower, under warm water
  • Gently wash the tattoo with unscented soap and gently remove any excess blood that has dried on it.
  • Gently pat the tattoo dry after it is cleaned with a clean paper towel. Make sure you do not rub, but only pat. 
  • Apply a thin layer of unscented lotion to the area AFTER 4 days. 
  • Make sure you wash your hands carefully and thoroughly before attending your tattoo. 
  • Repeat the process until you are fully healed. A fully healed tattoo will no longer scab and peel. It is recommended that you keep regularly cleansing the tattoo for 2 to 4 weeks until you see that it is completely healed.
  • Do not pick or peel at any of the scabs. Removing the scab may cause loss of ink and possible infections. 

WITHOUT Saniderm

  • Leave the plastic wrap on for just an hour or so
  • Gently wash the tattoo with unscented soap and lukewarm water thoroughly after taking the wrap off and gently remove any excess blood that has dried on it.
  • Gently pat the tattoo dry after it is cleaned with a clean paper towel. Make sure you do not rub, but only pat. 
  • Apply a thin layer of unscented lotion to the area AFTER 4 days. 
  • Make sure you wash your hands carefully and thoroughly before attending your tattoo. 
  • Repeat the process until you are fully healed. A fully healed tattoo will no longer scab and peel. It is recommended that you keep regularly cleansing the tattoo for 2 to 4 weeks until you see that it is completely healed.
  • Do not pick or peel at any of the scabs. Removing the scab may cause loss of ink and possible infections.

Delush x LouiseFlowerbloom CBD Aftercare Lotion

, BCOne of the best parts about being a creative is meeting and connecting with other like minded souls. This lead me to collaborate with Delush CBD. We wanted to create a tattoo aftercare that’s different from what’s on the market – not sticky, absorbs into the skin, 100% natural and effective. 

With love and intention, we’ve formulated a lightweight shea butter based lotion to help heal fresh tattoos and revive your beloved pieces. An alchemy of CBD, Aloe Vera, Tamanu seed oil, Helichrysum & Tea Tree oil will help accelerate healing, retain ink vibrancy, bring down inflammation, soothe irritations and protect from bacteria and environmental damage.

Tattoos are such a beautiful expression of self. Take care and wear your art proudly.
