AFTERCARE INFO:
For best results with this process leave the bandage on for 4-5 days. The bandage will allow for fluid to build up under it to aid in the healing process of the tattoo. If you feel there is too much fluid or the bandage becomes bothersome remove the bandage. The best way to remove it is typically in the shower with warm water and slowly peeling it back. Once the bandage is removed follow the standard aftercare info.
