Keep it clean. Keep it moisturized. Leave it alone.
Days 1 — 5
Leave the dermal water-resistant bandage on for 3–5 days. It's designed to stay in place through showers — don't peel it back early or re-bandage on your own.
Bandage Removal
Remove the bandage in the shower and wash the tattoo thoroughly with unscented soap under warm water. After your shower, pat dry with a clean towel or, preferably, a paper towel — then let it air dry for 30 minutes before applying anything.
Week 1
Apply a thin layer of Blue Dream Budder (or your preferred aftercare) 3–4 times a day. The tattoo should feel light and hydrated — never soaked or slick.
Week 2 and On
Begin tapering off usage after the first week as the skin finishes healing. Keep moisturized, avoid direct sun, and once fully healed, apply SPF 50 to preserve the work.
