Once the Saniderm is off, you’ll see a clean, vibrant tattoo. It might look a little shiny or sticky. That’s just leftover adhesive. Don’t scrub it. Use a tiny bit of oil or unscented soap to gently massage it away.
Then begins the peeling phase. Yes, more weird skin events. Your tattoo will flake like a lizard. This is normal. Do not pick the flakes. That’s how you lose color and gain scars.
Keep your new art moisturized with unscented lotion. No butter, no coconut oil from your kitchen drawer. Use tattoo-specific products or your artist’s recommendation.
