Essential Aftercare Steps
Proper aftercare is crucial for a healthy and vibrant tattoo. Follow these steps immediately after your session:
1
Immediate Protection
Your artist will apply a Derma Shield bandage to protect your new tattoo from bacteria and abrasion while allowing natural healing.
2
First 24 Hours
Keep the bandage on for the first 24 hours. It’s normal to see some fluid under the bandage. Showering is allowed, but avoid soaking the tattoo.
3
Bandage Change
After 24 hours, gently remove the bandage, clean the tattoo with mild soap, and apply a new Derma Shield bandage.
4
Final Bandage Removal
After 4–6 days, remove the bandage under warm water, clean the tattoo, and begin moisturizing with Mad Rabbit products.
Initial Care Instructions
For the first 24 hours, keep the Derma Shield bandage on your tattoo. This protective layer is crucial for shielding your new ink from bacteria and dirt. It’s normal to notice some fluid beneath the bandage, including plasma and ink.
Showering Guidelines
While you can shower with the bandage on, ensure you avoid submerging the tattoo in water. Refrain from swimming, taking baths, or using hot tubs during this period.
Monitoring the Tattoo
Check the bandage periodically to ensure it remains securely in place. If it starts to peel or lift, gently press it back down to maintain its protective seal.

Bandage Removal Preparation
After 24 hours, prepare to remove the Derma Shield bandage. Wash your hands thoroughly to prevent introducing bacteria to the area.
Gentle Bandage Removal
Carefully peel off the bandage, ideally while in the shower or under warm running water. This helps ease the removal process and reduces discomfort.
Cleaning the Tattoo
Once the bandage is off, clean the tattoo gently using a mild, unscented soap and warm water. Use only your hands to wash the area, avoiding any cloths or sponges.
Final Bandage Removal Steps
After 4–6 days, it’s time to remove the final Derma Shield bandage. This step is crucial for the continued healing of your tattoo.
1
Removing the Bandage
Gently peel off the bandage under warm running water. This helps to minimize discomfort and ensures a smooth removal process.
2
Post-Removal Cleaning
Wash the tattoo with unscented soap and warm water. Pat the area dry with a clean towel or paper towel to avoid introducing fibers.
3
Moisturizing the Tattoo
Begin applying a thin layer of Mad Rabbit Tattoo Repair Soothing Gel to keep the skin hydrated and promote healing.
4
Ongoing Care Tips
Continue moisturizing 2–3 times daily and avoid any activities that might irritate the tattoo, such as scratching or sun exposure.
Moisturizing & Ongoing Care
After removing the bandage, it’s crucial to maintain proper care to ensure your tattoo heals beautifully. Follow these steps for optimal results:
1
Cleanse & Dry
Gently wash your tattoo with unscented soap and warm water. Pat dry with a clean paper towel to avoid irritation.
2
Apply Soothing Gel
Use Mad Rabbit Tattoo Repair Soothing Gel to hydrate and protect your tattoo. Apply a thin layer after each wash.
3
Moisturize Regularly
Moisturize 2–3 times daily with Mad Rabbit Balm Stick for areas that feel dry. Avoid petroleum-based products.
