Plastic wrap:
Remove plastic wrap after 1-2 hours. Clean tattoo with warm water and unscented antibacterial soap. Let it dry for 15 minutes and apply a light layer of Aquaphor or A&D 2-3 times a day for 3 days. After 3 days, switch to moisturizing with unscented lotion.
Saniderm:
Leave saniderm on for approximately 5 days. Once that time is reached or the saniderm is heavily peeling, rinse under warm water and carefully peel the saniderm off. Clean with warm water and unscented antibacterial soap. Moisturize with lotion daily after removal.
Do not scratch, pick, or peel your healing tattoo.
Do not engage in direct sunlight or sunblock, no water submersion (no hot tubs, pools, baths-- warm showers are okay!) for 2-3 weeks.
Do not put scented or chemically-intensive products on your healing tattoo for 2-3 weeks.
To make an appointment, you can call or text 585-465-4077, message our socials, or use the Consultations/Appointments tab to pick a date yourself. If you're starting a new tattoo, we ask that you set up a consultation with an artist first so we can discuss design and placement, prices, and appointment dates.
