Day 01
The First 24 Hours
- The Bandage: Keep wrap for 2–4 hours. For Saniderm, follow Artist Peace's specific timing.
- The First Wash: Use lukewarm water and fragrance-free soap. Fingertips only; NO cloths.
- Pat Dry: Use a clean paper towel to pat dry. Never rub the skin.
- Breathe: No ointment on the first night unless skin feels painfully tight.
Day 02 – 06
Hydration & Protection
- Thin Layering: Apply a tiny amount of balm 2-3 times daily. Skin should look matte, not greasy.
- Wash Regularly: Clean twice daily to prevent heavy scabbing.
- Clothing: Wear loose cotton. Avoid gym wear or synthetics.
Day 07 – 14
The Itch & Peel
- Golden Rule: DO NOT pick or scratch. Let flakes fall naturally to keep ink intact.
- Switch to Lotion: Move to fragrance-free lotion (Aveeno/Lubriderm).
- Soothe: Gently slap the area to relieve itching.
Day 15 – 30
Deep Healing
- Silver Skin: Tattoo may look dull or milky. This is normal healing.
- Sun Shield: Use SPF 50+ outdoors once skin is closed. UV is the enemy of ink.
