HOW TO USE THE BANDAGE
HOW TO APPLY(REPLACING THE BANDAGE):
FIRST, CLEAN THE AREA WITH SOAP AND WATER, PAT DRY.
THIS BANDAGE CAN BE CUT INTO SECTIONS AND LAYERED
WHITE PAPER NEEDS TO BE REMOVED FIRST, THIS EXPOSES THE ADHESIVE SIDE
PLACE THE BANDAGE SO IT COVERS MORE AREA THAN THE TATTOO, THERE SHOULD BE ABOUT A 1/2” BETWEEN THE END OF THE BANDAGE AND YOUR TATTOO
SMOOTH IT DOWN, AIR BUBBLES WILL WORK THEMSELVES OUT
REMOVE THE GRID CLEAR PAPER WITH THE YELLOW ARROWS POINTING TO THE SEAM, ONCE THAT LAYER IS OFF , IF NEEDED, YOU CAN NOW LAY ANOTHER PIECE TO OVERLAP
BANDAGE SHOULD BE KEPT ON FOR 3 DAYS
REMOVING
HOW TO REMOVE :
MAKE SURE TO DO THIS UNDER RUNNING WATER GET SOAP UNDERNEATH A CORNER, KEEP WORKING ACROSS WITH THE SOAP, PEELING THE BANDAGE OFF SLOWLY THE SOAP HELPS TO GET THE ADHESIVE OFF
WASH THE TATTOO WITH A FRAGRANCE FREE SOAP RINSE WELL
** IF YOU ARE REPLACING THE BANDAGE**DO NOT PUT ANYTHING ON THE TATTOO BEFORE YOU PUT ON THE BANDAGE
IF ITS A HARD TO REACH PLACE HAVE A PARTNER OR FRIEND HELP YOU
YOU CAN CUT TO DESIRED SIZE, MAKE SURE THERE IS A GOOD AMOUNT OF SPACE BETWEEN THE EDGE OF THE BANDAGE AND THE TATTOO
PEEL OFF WHITE PAPER, PLACE BANDAGE DOWN.
PRESS FIRMLY AND SMOOTH OUT, REMOVE THE PLASTIC BARRIER WITH THE YELLOW ARROWS YOU CAN LAYER ON TOP, BUT ONLY AFTER YOU HAVE REMOVED THE PLASTIC BARRIER
AIR BUBBLES HAPPEN AND USUALLY WORK THEMSELVES OUT MOST IMPORTANT IS TO MAKE SURE THE BANDAGE STAYS IN PLACE, NO AIR CANALS, OR TINY PARTS OF THE TATTOO STICKING OUTSIDE THE BANDAGE
WEAR FOR 3 DAYS, AFTER THAT GO RIGHT TO A PLAIN NON SCENTED LOTION( I HAVE RECOMMENDATIONS LISTED)
DO NOT DO:
DO NOT PUT A NEW BANDAGE OVER THE OLD BANDAGE, IT DOES NOT WORK LIKE THAT! IF THE OLD BANDAGE SHIFTS OR PEELS UP, REPLACE IT!
AQUAPHOR IS NOT LOTION!!
DO NOT USE AQUAPHOR!!!
DO NOT USE OINTMENTS,SALVES, OILS OR BALMS
THESE ARE TOO THICK AND WILL CAUSE YOUR TATTOO TO GET FUZZY LOOKING OR LOSE COLOR!
ONLY PLAIN LOTION
DO NOT PICK AT IT, SUBMERGE IT IN WATER, EXPOSE IT TO PROLONGED SUN IN THE FIRST MONTH
LOTION
SHEA BUTTER,COCOA BUTTER,EUCERIN, CETAPHIL…ANYTHING NON-SCENTED
DO NOT OVER USE LOTION,ONE TO TWO TIMES A DAY AND JUST ENOUGH TO MOISTURIZE THE AREA(AROUND THE SIZE OF A QUARTER AT MOST, OBV. LARGER TATTOOS WILL NEED A BIT MORE AND SMALLER LESS)
DO NOT USE:
AQUAPHOR IS NOT LOTION
OILS,OINTMENTS,SALVES
TRANSPARENT BANDAGES
THERE ARE MANY ON THE MARKET.
I SUGGEST GOING TO AMAZON.COM AND FINDING A ROLL OF TRANSPARENT BANDAGE
SOME POPULAR BRANDS ARE :
TEGADERM,DYNAREX,AND SECOND SKIN
YOU CAN ALSO BUY THIS AT A LOCAL PHARMACY BUT THEY ARE PRICEY AND SMALL
IF YOU ARE GETTING SESSION PIECES DONE I DO RECOMMEND BUYING THIS IN CASE IT NEEDS REPLACING MORE THAN ONE TIME
THIS BANDAGE IS ALSO GREAT FOR CUTS AND BURNS
NUMBING CREAMS
THERE ARE MANY ON THE MARKET, MOST IMPORTANT TO KNOW IS APPLICATION
CLEANSE YOUR SKIN FIRST IN WARM TO HOT WATER SO YOU CAN OPEN UP YOUR PORES,APPLY A VERY GENEROUS AMOUNT
WRAP IT IN PLASTIC WRAP ABOUT ONE HOUR PRIOR
BRING THE CREAM WITH YOU TO BE USED THROUGHOUT THE TATTOO PROCESS
