HYPRSKN / Safety

1. Leave the bandage or covering on the tattoo overnight

2. Remove the bandage/covering the following morning and CLEAN your tattoo thoroughly with soap and water.

   Rather than simply allowing water and soap to run over the tattoo, rub any serum/plasma off of the tattoo. This allows the tattooed skin to "breathe" and helps prevent infection. Preferably, one should use an antibacterial soap.  

3. Avoid any clothing rubbing over the tattoo as much as possible during the first several days of the healing process

4. Change or wash bedding and towels daily to avoid inadvertent bacterial exposure

5. For the first 2-3 days after tattoo placement, apply Bactine and Aquaphor as follows:

   • After your tattoo has been cleaned, apply a thin layer of BACTINE over your tattoo.

   • Once the Bactine has dried, apply a thin layer of Aquaphor.

6. Repeat the process of cleaning, applying Bactine and then Aquaphor 2-3 times per day for the first 3 days. 

7. Should any adverse events occur, immediately consult a board-certified dermatologist for further instruction
