In case of a skin reaction, we recommend washing the tattoo thoroughly with plenty of water and Dermalize Soft Wash or any mild soap 3 to 4 times a day. After each wash, allow the skin to air dry completely and then apply a thin layer of Dermalize Velvet Cream or any natural cream with no petrolatum or PEGs. Continue this process for 7 to 8 days until the tattoo is fully healed.
