“SECOND SKIN”
Directions for Use
Gently clean and pat dry the tattoo and surrounding area, ensuring there is no soap, residue or potential contaminants on the skin. Cut the bandage so there is a 1"–2" margin around the edge of the tattoo. Peel off backing and position the bandage over tattoo with the adhesive side facing the skin. Gently apply using light pressure, starting from the center to the edges to eliminate air bubbles. Do not stretch the bandage during application. The first application should stay in place for 1-3 days depending on level of exudation (plasma/pigment build up). It is normal for blood and fluids to collect under the bandage. If the bandage is punctured, peels off or leaks, a second application may be necessary. Gently clean and dry the area between applications. Do not wear a bandage longer than one week under any circumstance.
Directions for Removal
Gently peel the bandage off by pulling it slowly downward and back over itself. Avoid pulling upwards. Warm water may help loosen the adhesive.
