After care

Keep the applied bandage on for anywhere from 24-72hours, depending on how much the wound is weeping. It's fine if there is some plasma/blood/lymph fluid buildup under the bandage during this period, however, if that fluid breaks the bandage seal it must be removed.

To remove Saniderm, find an edge of the bandage and pull it back over itself in the direction of your natural hair growth. The shower is the ideal place to remove Saniderm. Running water will help loosen the adhesive and relax the skin, making the removal much more comfortable. Dry removal of Saniderm may cause discomfort and added trauma to the skin.

1. Discard the used bandage and wash the tattoo with a mild fragrance-free soap.
2. Allow the tattoo to air dry or pat dry with a clean towel.
3. If desired, apply a second bandage.

Additional removal and reapplication information:

• Keep this second bandage on for 3 to 6 days - the full six days being ideal. If the skin appears irritated, there is excessive fluid buildup, or the bandage is coming off, it's okay to remove the bandage sooner rather than later.
• Pat dry with a clean paper towel.
• Apply a thin layer of fragrance and dye free lotion, or after care product until it is absorbed into your skin.
• Repeat wash and lotion 4-6 times a day or as needed for the next 3 weeks.
