Second Skin Bandage
 

Keep the second skin on for a miniumum of 24 hrs ( 3 to 4 days preferred unless intstructed otherwise). If tattoo is exposed from the second skin or water gets underneath be sure to remove the second skin as soon as possible. 

After the recommend period of time remove the bandage and clean your tattoo gently with unscented soap. Pat dry with clean towel or paper towel.

Wash once or twice a day. After your tattoo is dry use a unscented lotion to moisturize (tattoo may be itchy, be sure not to itch or scratch - Loss of ink irritation, or infection may occur if you do). 

Stay out of sunlight and tanning booths; hot tubs, saunas, and swimming pools until the tattoo is fully healed (a minimum of  2 weeks)

Extreme sun exposure over the years can and will fade your tattoo. An SPF sunscreen of at least 15 can help minimize this. Stay away from working out for a minimum 3 days up to 2 weeks after application of the tattoo (sweat can push ink out of the wound and introduce bacteria until the skin starts to regenerate and seal) working out can increase the chance of blowouts, irritation, which can ultimately lead to a rougher heal  or infection.
