how to take care of your tattoo

AFTER care:

(with saniderm)

  • remove saniderm bandage after 24 hours. this is done most comfortably under warm water. (if seal is broken early on that bandage, you can remove it at any time and follow the following steps)

  • light rinse with antibacterial soap and pat dry.

  • if you have your own saniderm, you may reapply another bandage for up to 6 days.

  • if you aren’t using a second bandage, we recommend applying Hustle Butter (light layer) 2-3 times daily for about 2 weeks or until tattoo seems completely healed. (It is normal for your tattoo to “leak” and peel. Don’t panic!

  • unscented lotions are great for healing tattoos! (avoid using vaseline, aquaphoer, a&d, etc.

without saniderm:

  • remove wrap/bandage.

  • lightly rinse with antibacterial soap and pat dry.

  • apply a thin layer of Hustle Butter (or whichever tattoo after care you prefer) 2-3 times daily for at least two weeks. (it is normal for your tattoo to “leak” and/or peel. Don’t panic!

  • unscented lotions are great for healing tattoos! (avoid using vaseline, aquaphor, a&d, etc.

  • it is important to try to avoid itching or picking at your healing tatoo.
