How Should I Remove the Second Skin?

Answered by Sude ErdemTattoo artist in Los Angeles

Remove it slowly rather than pulling it straight up from the skin. Peel it back gradually, keeping it close and parallel to the skin.

If the full 5 days have passed, you can use normal water while removing it. If you need to remove the second skin earlier than 5 days, I recommend using drinking water or purified water instead.

Once it is removed, clean the tattoo according to the aftercare instructions I give you.
