I use silver gel underneath a bandage called second skin. You will leave the bandage on for three to five days to allow the blood and plasma to sit on top of the wound to create a faster healing process. The gel and bandage also prevents bacteria and infection from getting into the open wound. When it’s time to take the bandage off on days three to five, you will want to be under luke warm water and gently peel the bandage off while keeping it flush to your skin. Make sure to do this with freshly washed hands. Then you will wash your tattoo with unscented antibacterial soap, pat dry with a clean towel, and moisturize with a thin layer of unscented lotion. Repeat those steps at least twice a day.
