TATTOO
Leave the Recovery Dermal Shield on for 24 hours then remove in the shower or with water. Clean the tattoo well with warm water and antibacterial soap - using only your fingertips to get off all the blood, ink & plasma. Do not use washcloths or sponge at all ONLY allow to air dry for 20-30 minutes (or until completely dry.) DO NOT APPLY ANY LOTION OR OINTMENT! Reapply your fresh Recovery Dermal shield all the way around the tattooed area. Leave this on for 3-5 more days. After the 3-5 days remove the dermal shield and clean the tattoo well with warm water and antibacterial soap - using only your fingertips to get off the plasma, ink and blood off then once again let air dry from 20-30 minutes.
For the next 14 days apply vitamin E oil, coconut oil or a non-scented, white lotion, preferably Lubriderm. ONLY USEA PEA SIZED AMOUNT. Do this until the tattoo is fully healed. Tattoos can take up to one month to fully heal.
During the first 2 weeks avoid hot tubs, pools, lake or ocean water. They harbor bacteria that can cause infection. Do not submerge the tattoo during the healing process & avoid prolonged exposure to water lasting more than 5-10 minutes - this includes showering.
