​Saniderm Healing
    -You can leave the same piece on for 5-7 days. If the piece I apply to your tattoo becomes 
    compromised (fluid coming in or out, peeling off and exposing the tattoo), you can change it on day
    two. 
    - If you react to the adhesive, please remove the bandage promptly. You may use an antihistamine
    ointment on any reaction spots 2x a day as needed. Please use the next steps to guide you on

how to heal without the bandage.
Traditional Healing
   - Please wash your tattoo 2x daily and apply an unscented lotion afterward. If you live in a dry
   climate or struggle to keep your skin moisturized (itchy skin, tight skin, ashy appearance, tears in
   the tattoo on bendy areas like the inside of the elbow) feel free to add an unscented oil over top
   after applying the lotion. Almond oil and Jojoba oil are good options.
   - I recommend wrapping your tattoo for the first three days. Change the wrapping between washes
   and let the tattoo breathe for at least an hour every day. Always wash your tattoo directly before
   rewrapping it to ensure there aren't any germs getting trapped within.
  - Do not soak your tattoo in any way for 2 weeks. Baths, dishes, hottubs, and swimming are
    included.
  - Use a fresh towel or paper towel to dry your tattoo, NO BUTT TOWELS!
  - Once the wound is no longer open, you may switch to washing once a day and moisturizing as
    needed.
Tattoo Troubles
  - if your tattoo has any signs of infection, please apply a small amount of antibacterial ointment on
  the affected area and email me as soon as you notice anything concerning. Please include a picture
of the concerning area with good lighting and a description of what is happening. If you are unable
to reach me please make an appointment with your doctor or go to an urgent care to recieve a
medical opinion.
