Dynarex Aftercare Instructions:

  1. Roughly 24 hours after getting tattooed, gently remove the bandage (peel from corners) while running warm water over the bandage, or in the shower.

    *Do not rip or pull off when skin is dry.

  2. Immediately after removing bandage wash the area thoroughly with a fragrance free soap (ex. Dial, Dove, Dr. Bronnners). Rinse well to remove all soap.

  3. IF REAPPLYING: Air dry or blot dry with a paper towel then re-apply the new piece of Dynarex and wear that no more than six additional days. (If at any point the bandage seal breaks, of sweat gathers underneath, remove bandage and continue to step 4).

  4. Following washing, dry skin and apply a very thin layer of fragrance free lotion (Aveeno, Curel, etc.)

    *It is very important that your tattoo does NOT appear creamy from too much lotion. At this point, the tattoo may begin to peel and/or look very dry.

  5. Continue to wash regularly and lotion until the skin is no longer dry and feels similar to the rest of your skin in texture and appearance.

    1. Avoid sun burning, submerging, or swimming with a new tattoo, a typical heal time is two and a half to three weeks.
