Derm Shield Healing Method

​

Derm Shield will normally be applied by your artist in the studio. In some cases, your artist may instruct you to apply it yourself at home. Leave the bandage on for 3-7 days. The duration will depend on your specific tattoo session, so please follow your artist’s instructions.

​

Remove the bandage in a warm shower. The warmth will loosen the adhesive and make it easier to remove. Find an edge of the bandage and slowly pull it back over itself in the direction of hair growth. Pulling upward on the bandage can be painful, so we don’t recommend it. If you’re having trouble removing the bandage, use Dial Gold LIQUID Soap to loosen the bandage.

​

Clean your tattoo with Dial Gold Soap and warm water. Do not use bar soap, loofahs, rags or sponges as they harbor bacteria. Lather with soap first, then wash using your palm, gently removing any slimy residue. Rinse with cold water and pat dry with a clean paper towel, then allow it to air-dry for 10 minutes. 

​

Apply non scented lotion 3 times per day until it is fully healed.
