Dermal sticker application and tattoo maintenance

• Cut and shape the sticker to fit around the tattoo - add an extra inch around all sides. TIP: Cut the edges of the sticker rounded to improve fit and comfort.
• First, peel off the white paper wrapper from the sticky side and gently place it over the tattoo.
• Once the sticky side of the sticker is in place, remove the second clear layer on top and smooth the sticker over the tattoo.
• Wear the first sticker for at least 3 to 24 hours, depending on how wet the tattoo is.
• Replace it within 24 hours.
• It is normal for plasma/blood/lymph fluid to accumulate under the sticker during this period, but do not leave it for more than 24 hours.

Removing and reapplying Dermal stickers

To remove the sticker, find the edge of the sticker and pull it towards you in the direction of natural hair growth. The shower is an ideal place to remove stickers. The running water will help soften the glue and relax the skin, making removal much more comfortable. Dry sticker removal can cause discomfort and additional trauma to the skin.

Additional information on removal and reapplication:

Wear the second sticker for 3 to 6 days – ideally the full six days. If you notice that the skin is irritated, there is fluid accumulation, or the sticker is coming off, it is okay to remove the sticker before the allotted time. Do not reapply the sticker after the tattoo is in the healing stage of scabbing/peeling. If you are without a sticker during this phase, make sure the area is well hydrated. Buy a tattoo moisturizer.

If the glue remains on the skin or is not removed enough with water, coconut oil and baby oil can help with removal. Removal of stickers for subsequent tattoo care and tattoo cleaning

Before touching your new tattoo for any purpose, it's important to make sure your hands are clean. Wash them thoroughly for at least 20 seconds with unscented soap.

Carefully remove the sticker as described above. If the sticker sticks, you can use a little warm water to help remove the glue. Gently remove the sticker and throw it away.

Then wash your hands again, then wash off any remaining ink, blood, and plasma with your hand, a little warm water, and a small amount of unscented antibacterial soap in a gentle circular motion. You want to avoid creating too much suds, as it is difficult to rinse off. Avoid rubbing your new tattoo, as this can damage the skin and slow healing.

Finally, leave the skin to dry naturally for about 10 minutes or gently dry it with a clean towel.

Tattoo Aftercare Routine: Caring for Your New Tattoo After Sticker Removal

Once you've removed the last tattoo sticker, continue to care for it by gently washing with a fragrance-free antibacterial soap and gently patting or air-drying. Then apply a layer of aftercare moisturizer 2 to 3 times a day for 3 days.

Wearing the sticker while showering, swimming and exercising

Showering while wearing the sticker is fine, but it's best to keep the time spent in the shower to a minimum.

Water can weaken the adhesive of the sticker, which allows unwanted contaminants to enter the sticker and increases the risk of infection. It is also important to pay attention to the temperature of the water. Too much hot water can separate the bandage from the skin, causing skin and tattoo irritation.
