Important: Contact your artist or a medical professional immediately if you notice excessive redness, swelling, heat, or discharge — these can be signs of infection.

Step 1
Leave the initial wrap on
Keep your bandage or second-skin wrap on for the timeframe your artist advises — usually 2–4 hours for regular wrap, 3–5 days for second skin.
Step 2
Wash gently
Use fragrance-free soap and lukewarm water. Lather with clean fingertips — no washcloths or sponges. Pat dry with a clean paper towel.
Step 3
Moisturize sparingly
Apply a thin layer of recommended aftercare product (Aquaphor, Hustle Butter, or unscented lotion). Thin layers only — thick coatings suffocate the skin.
Step 4
Protect from sun and water
Avoid direct sun exposure, pools, hot tubs, and soaking baths for at least 2–3 weeks. Once fully healed, use SPF 50+ to protect the color.
Step 5
Do not pick or scratch
Peeling and flaking is normal. Picking pulls out ink and can cause scarring. If it itches, slap gently — never scratch.
