Aftercare Instructions
Proper aftercare is essential to preserving your new tattoo or piercing. Follow these instructions carefully for the best results.
Tattoo Aftercare Instructions
Always wash your hands before touching your tattoo!
- Here at Inked Circus Expos, we recommend the use of a Dermal Care Bandage to heal your Tattoo. This process has been used in Hospitals for years and recently has been emerging in the Tattoo Industry. Used properly, a Dermal bandage is THE BEST WAY to heal your Tattoo.
- DO NOT SWIM, NO HOT TUBS, NO SOAKING IN BATHS, NO BEACHES — Your new Tattoo is an OPEN WOUND. Please treat it as such and respect the healing process.
- 7 Days: The longer you can leave the Dermal Care Bandage on, the better. We recommend 7 days for a full 'New Skin Heal'. This will give enough time for the body's plasma to heal the wound, new skin to form and heal.
- To remove: Use a warm towel placed on the Derm for approx. 5 mins to loosen the glue. Then peel the bandage back from the corner/edge like peeling a banana — pull down along the body, not away from it.
Piercing Aftercare
For piercing-specific aftercare, please ask your piercer directly at the time of your piercing. They will provide tailored instructions for your specific placement. General rules apply: keep clean, avoid touching, and follow professional guidance.
