Aftercare.

Saniderm.

Days 1-3.

You may leave your saniderm on for up to 3 days. Ideally you will remove your saniderm 24 hours after getting your tattoo. Once fully removed: wash throughly under warm water with a fragrance-free antibacterial soap. Allow to air dry for 20-30 minutes before applying a very thin layer of aftercare ointment. After you have removed the Saniderm, continue to wash your tattoo a minimum of 3 times a day. Do not apply more ointment to your tattoo without washing it first.

Days 4-10.

Continue washing your tattoo 3 times a day and allowing it to air dry for 20-30 minutes. If you have been using Aquaphor or managed to keep your Saniderm on for a full 3 days, you can now switch to a white, water-based and fragrance free lotion in place of the ointment. Continue this process until your skin returns to its normal texture (not scaly, dry, shiny, etc).

Saran Wrap

Days 1-3

Leave your wrap on until bedtime. remove the Saran Wrap and wash your tattoo throughly under warm running water with a fragrance free, anti-bacterial soap. Allow to air dry for 20-30 minutes before applying a very thin layer of Aquaphor. You may re-wrap your tattoo with saran wrap before bed to keep it protected overnight. Immediately was it in the morning and continue the process.

Days 4-10


Continue washing your tattoo 3 times a day and allowing it to air dry for 20-30 minutes. If you have been using Aquaphor you can now switch to a white, water-based and fragrance free lotion in place of the ointment. Continue this process until your skin returns to its normal texture (not scaly, dry, shiny, etc).

Aftercare Dont’s

  • Do NOT use wash cloths, towels, loofahs, or other non-disposable items on your new tattoo. These items can harbor potentially harmful bacteria.

  • Do NOT get in the ocean, bay, pool, hot tub, or submerge your tattoo in any other potentially dangerous fluid until at LEAST 3 weeks after you have been tattooed. If your skin is not back to its normal texture, it is not fully healed.

  • Do NOT use products that are oil -based or contain oils on your healing tattoo.

  • Do NOT use products with fragrance as these contain alcohol.

  • Do NOT put sunscreen or makeup on your tattoo until it’s fully healed.

  • I DO NOT recommend that any Mad Rabbit products are used on healing tattoos. Please do not use there products until at least six weeks after getting the tattoo.
