Detailed aftercare guide

With 2nd skin

With cling film

Remove the film after 2-3 hours and clean your tattoo. You can wrap it up in a new layer of film (without applying any  cream) before going to sleep to avoid sticking to the bed sheets the 1st night.

Remove in the morning and do not cover it with cling film again, let it breath and star doing the aftercare below

Keep the 2nd skin for 3 days if possible, do not leave it any longer, maximum 3 or 4 days. In case of having water leaks or the 2nd skin peeling off and leaving parts showing, remove the film 

Remove the protective film carefully, under water/in the shower should come off a bit easier. Then follow the process below

Once the film is removed

From this point the process it´s the same for both cases, whether your artist used 2nd skin or cling film to wrap your tattoo.

  • After removing the film clean your tattoo with antibacterial soap (Carex or similar, nothing with alcohol), and tap dry your tattoo with clean kitchen tissue. Let it dry for a couple of minutes and apply a thin layer of Easy Tattoo, just a small amount and extend it well

  • Repeat this process 3 times a day for 2 weeks

  • Try to avoid your tattoo rubbing against your clothes or any surface. The tattoo will most likely become a bit itchy after a few days but don’t scratch it or pick it with your nails. It will also start scabbing/peeling after a few days (it’s normal), just let them fall off by themselves while you clean and moisturise it, don’t force it

  • Avoid exposing your tattoo to the sun in the first 2 or 3 weeks, after that remember to use suncream if you go to the beach/sunny places where you will be exposed to the sun for long periods of time

  • Avoid water as much as possible for 2 weeks, no swimming or long baths. A quick shower it’s not a problem
