  • If your artist used Dermshield on your tattoo
    Dermshield acts as a breathable second skin, protecting your fresh tattoo while it starts to heal. Here’s how to take care of it:

    • Keep the Dermshield on for 3–5 days unless it starts to feel uncomfortable — if it does, it’s okay to remove it sooner.

    • It’s water-resistant, not waterproof. Quick showers are fine, but no baths, pools, hot tubs, or soaking of any kind.

    When it’s time to remove your Dermshield:

    1. Run warm water over the area.

    2. Gently lift a corner and stretch the film off slowly — never rip it off.

    3. Wash the tattoo with warm water and antibacterial soap using clean hands.

    For a traditional (non-Dermshield) heal
    If you and your artist opted for a more traditional healing process:

    • Wash your tattoo gently with warm water and antibacterial soap — always with clean hands.

    • Dry the area with a clean paper towel or let it air dry. Avoid cloth towels, as they can carry bacteria.

    • Apply a thin layer of Aveno Daily Moisturizer Unscented or an unscented lotion. Remember: less is more — a light coat goes a long way.

    Your new tattoo is a work of art. Following these steps helps ensure it heals clean, sharp, and ready to show off for years to come.
