Healing Instructions
1. Remove the second skin after 2 days. Remove it during shower and use the water to help remove it, pull slowly and very calmly! Be patient!!!
2. After removing the second skin, wash the tattoo with plenty of cold water and soap*, don't be afraid to use your palm to wash the tattoo! Dry it carefully with a clean towel or paper towel and start to apply the moisturizer. ALWAYS WASH BEFORE APPLY THE MOISTURIZER!
3. In the next 15 days, you will use only the moisturizer at least 4x a day. Pay attention to the amount of moisturizer used! Avoid using too much as this can inflame your tattoo, use just enough to make your skin glow. The amount of moisturizer will not make your tattoo more moiusturized, but the number of times throughout the day that you apply the moisturizer!
