Aftercare

Welcome to the club!

We recommend Dr. Pickels for tattoo aftercare.

Saniderm is a shower-safe second skin that’s used for 24-48 hours. (unless irritated).

If your tattoo is wrapped in plastic, remove it after 3-4hrs in the shower & jump to step #4.

  1. Have a warm shower and allow water to run over the area.
  2. Gently peel a corner until it lifts, & allow plenty of water under.
  3. Slowly and gently peel the Saniderm off the skin while rinsing.
  4. Gently wash the tattoo with warm soapy water.
  5. Pat dry with a clean towel & allow the to dry for 12-24 hours.
  6. Apply minimal aftercare cream 2-3 times a day for 2-3 weeks.

  • It can take up to a month to stop being dry, dull or shiny.
  • Extra aftercare cream can be used as a moisturiser.
  • Avoid soaking your tattoo in water for two weeks.
  • Do not pick or scratch your tattoo while healing.
  • No sun on your new tattoo for one month.
