Before applying any type of dressing be sure to clean very well. You will put on three dressings through out your healing process. Each time you use a dressing it will protect from air borne bacteria and keep the tattoo area clean. These are also waterproof as well. This means you can be under water longer than traditional aftercare (NOT RECOMMENDED)
