Aftercare

Tattoo aftercare

Got a new tattoo? Follow this official Tattooland Canarias guide so it heals perfectly.

  1. After approximately 2 hours, your brand new tattoo is ready to be unwrapped.
  2. Wash your hands and use only unscented, fragrance-free antibacterial soap.
  3. Carefully remove the bandaging — be gentle.
  4. Clean the tattoo with warm water until blood, ointment and plasma are removed. Do not scrub.
  5. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry with a paper towel, then let it air dry fully.
  6. Apply a thin layer of specific tattoo aftercare ointment.
  7. Repeat the cleaning process 1-2 times a day for the first 2-3 days, and apply ointment for 2 weeks.
  8. Your tattoo should be fully healed within 2-4 weeks. It's normal for it to get itchy and flaky — do not pick or scratch it.

For 2 weeks, avoid:

  • — Direct sun
  • — Swimming pools
  • — Soaking / submersion

Second Skin

A breathable, waterproof, transparent adhesive bandage applied over a fresh tattoo. It creates a protective barrier against bacteria and dirt while locking in natural moisture, reducing scabbing and itching. It's typically removed after 24 hours: use warm water to help the adhesive come off gently, never rip it off.

Heal it. Love it. Keep it bold.
