Wet Heal

​

For the wet heal process, your artist will apply a medical adhesive bandage over your tattoo. This bandage acts as a protective layer (your "scab") and can stay on for 1-7 days, moving you straight into 'Day 3-7' of the Dry Heal stages.

​

The bandage enables carefree healing because it:

​

• Is water-resistant

• Allows your skin to breathe through micropores

• Keeps dirt and grime away from the tattoo

• Promotes immediate healing

​​

If you can keep the bandage on for the full 7 days, your tattoo will be well on its way to healing.

​

If you notice any sweat building up beneath the bandage, remove it to prevent irritation. 

​

If the bandage falls off before 7 days, don't worry. You can switch to the Dry Heal method and follow those steps instead.

​

How to Remove the Bandage

​

• Run warm water over the bandage to loosen the adhesive.

• Start peeling up a corner, then gently pull and stretch the adhesive away from the tattoo to break the seal.

• Let soap and water slip under the bandage to ease removal.

• Avoid peeling back directly from the tattoo, as this could remove healing skin.
