Tattoo Aftercare

OUR PREFERED METHOD OF TATTOO AFTERCARE

We often use the skin-derm healing method at the shop. If you lose your aftercare directions, don’t worry. This page says the exact same thing.


I will outline the skin-derm healing method first, and then it will go into the more traditional healing method we use at Funhouse Tattoo.

SKIN-DERM HEALING METHOD:


  1. Once your artist has applied the skin-derm bandage, leave it on for 3 – 5 days (tattoo artist recommended, but may differ between artists and tattoos) as your tattoo heals. This bandage is ok to shower with.
  2. If it bubbles or blood pools, don’t worry. This is normal. That fluid is the good stuff your body naturally makes to heal your tattoo.
  3. Remove the bandage after 3 – 5 days, depending on your artist’s recommendation.
  4. To remove the bandage, get in the shower and run warm water over the bandage as you pull it off. Warm to hot water seems to work best on releasing the bandage from your skin.
  5. After the bandage is removed, follow the traditional healing method instructions (below) and please use your artist’s recommended lotion. For Julian, that’s Lubriderm.


TRADITIONAL HEALING METHOD:

What You'll Need:


1 bottle of Dial Antibacterial Liquid Hand Soap, Gold

1 bottle of water-based, fragrance-free white lotion (Julian’s recommendation: Lubriderm)


Steps:


  1. When returning home after your tattoo session, please remove plastic wrap and hop in the shower to get clean.
  2. While showering, run warm water over your tattoo.
  3. Clean the tattoo with a small amount of the Gold Dial hand soap. Use your hand and fingers to gently rub the soap over the tattoo to a slight lather. Do not use a wash cloth or loofa for 2 -3 weeks.
  4. After the shower, pat your tattoo dry with a clean paper towel. Do this the first 3 days after tattoo session.
  5. After the tattoo dries, apply a small amount of lotion to the tattoo. Run into skin so that the excess lotion isn’t on the surface of your skin.
  6. Repeat the process 2 to 3 times per day for 2 weeks.

If you have questions about these two tattoo aftercare methods, feel free to call or text.
