Aftercare.
Good aftercare decides the result and how long your tattoo will last. Here is my full aftercare guide — you can also take it with you as a PDF.

- Avoid sports and exercise while wearing the Second Skin.
- If you notice any signs of a reaction or intolerance to the Second Skin, please remove it immediately.
- After three days, gently remove the Second Skin and clean your tattoo with lukewarm water and a pH-neutral soap. Then pat it dry with a paper towel and repeat this twice a day (or as needed).
- For 1–2 days after removing the Second Skin, do not apply any cream yet, but keep cleaning the tattoo as described.
- After that, start applying a very thin layer of Hustle Butter Deluxe® to your tattoo two to three times a day for 4–6 weeks.
Avoid for 4–6 weeks
- Tanning beds / strong sun exposure
- Softening the skin through too much moisture (e.g. long showers, baths, sauna)
- Chlorinated and salt water
- Mechanical irritation (e.g. scratching), heavy friction
- Excessive sweating
- Any care products other than your tattoo cream
Afterwards
- For a lasting, good result after healing, use sunscreen with SPF 50+.
- If you would like a touch-up after 6 weeks, simply email me a photo of the tattoo and we can take another look at it together.
If you have any questions while your tattoo is healing, feel free to reach out to me by email any time.
