Aftercare instructions
Keep the second skin (Suprasorb F) on for about 2 days. Suprasorb F is a breathable and flexible wound film made of polyurethane. The second skin protects the tattoo for the first few days.
If you experience an allergic reaction, remove the second skin immediately. The skin may become red or develop bumps.
If the film comes off by itself, don’t worry, follow the aftercare instructions and treat the tattoo as usual.
- Avoid soaking the tattoo. A quick shower is best.
- The tattoo may appear blurry and dirty under the second skin, which is completely normal. All fluids and inks accumulated under the second skin will be washed away when the second skin is removed.
- Wear loose clothing that won’t rub against the tattoo.
REMOVING THE FILM
- Wash your hands thoroughly and gently remove the second skin.
- Lift the edge and slowly stretch the second skin upwards at an angle. DO NOT rip it downwards quickly.
- After removing the second skin, wash the skin with lukewarm water and you can use hypoallergenic, fragrance-free soap, although it’s not mandatory.
- Gently wash the tattoo.
- Let the tattoo air dry or pat it dry with a clean towel or paper. Do not rub.
- Apply a thin layer of tattoo aftercare ointment, mainly containing natural ingredients, 2-4 times a day for two weeks.
It’s normal for the tattoo to be red and sensitive for the first week.
