Precautions When Reapplying Second Skin After Removal

'Please note: Only reapply the SecondSkin if you have your own and fully understand the correct application process. Incorrect use can result in serious complications, such as infections or delayed healing. If you're not confident in your knowledge, it's best to follow the aftercare instructions given by your artist.'

1. Keep the Skin Clean: After removing the Second Skin, gently clean the tattooed area with lukewarm water and mild soap. 

Make sure the skin is completely dry before reapplying.

2. Ensure Hand Hygiene: Wash your hands thoroughly before handling the new Second Skin. 

Consider wearing sterile gloves while applying it.

3. Check Skin Condition: Carefully inspect the tattooed area after removing the Second Skin. 

If you notice any redness, irritation, or excessive oozing, allow the skin to rest before reapplying, or consult your tattoo artist for advice.

4. Keep the Area Dry: Ensure that the tattooed area is completely dry before reapplying the Second Skin.

 Moisture or leftover creams can prevent proper adhesion and increase the risk of infection.

5. Choose the Right Size and Position: Cut the new Second Skin to a size that fully covers the tattooed area.

 Apply it carefully, avoiding wrinkles or air bubbles, and make sure the tattoo is centered.

6. Post-Application Care: After reapplying the Second Skin, avoid excessive movement or pressure on the area. Keep it clean and avoid prolonged exposure to water or strenuous activities to ensure it stays securely in place.

Following these steps will help protect your tattoo and maintain its color and clarity.
