How long should I keep second skin (Saniderm) on a tattoo?

Follow your artist's instructions — often 24–72 hours for the first piece, then a gentle wash and optional second application. Remove sooner if fluid pools, edges peel with contamination risk, or you see irritation. Never reapply over unwashed skin.
