Aftercare Day 1-5 | Wound Care

In the first phase of tattoo aftercare (days 1–5), your skin is still an open wound. Maximum protection and hygiene are crucial now. Thorough cleaning and moisturizing form the foundation. With our Cleansing Gel and After Tattoo cream, you give your tattoo exactly what it needs. Prefer not to worry about your tattoo for the first few days? Then the Second Skin Tattoo Film is ideal: you apply it after the first wash, and it protects your tattoo for 3 to 5 days.

This gives your tattoo the best start for fast, trouble-free healing.

How to care for your tattoo during the first few days

Without film (classic aftercare):

  • Gently wash your tattoo 2–3 times a day with TattooMed Cleansing Gel
  • Gently pat the skin dry, never rub
  • Apply a thin layer of TattooMed After Tattoo
  • Avoid swimming, sauna, and exercise during this phase

With film (extra convenience and protection):

  • First wash your tattoo with TattooMed Cleansing Gel
  • Then immediately apply TattooMed Tattoo Film
  • Leave the film on for 3–5 days (preferably 5) without removing it in between
  • Only check that the film stays in place properly
  • After removal: wash with Cleansing Gel and apply a thin layer of After Tattoo
