If you want beautifully healed and vibrant tattoos? Then taking care of your tattoo is a must. Follow these steps to get the best possible healing process:
If your artist provides you with a protective bandage, keep it on for at least 2 hours.
When your remove the bandage (If any), wash your tattoo gently with lukewarm water and mild, fragrance free soap.
Apply a thin layer of specialised tattoo aftercare product to keep your tattoo moisturised and protected.
Wash your tattoo 2-3 times a day with soap and water. Gently pat and dry your tattoo, avoid rubbing or scrubbing the area.
Refrain from swimming, soaking in hot tubs, or taking long baths until your tattoo is fully healed. Excessive moisture can cause fading and prolong the healing process.
Itching is a normal part of the healing process, resist the urge to scratch or pick at your tattoo. This can cause scarring and damage the design.
Even when your tattoo is healed, it is a good idea to maintain moisture to keep it's vibrancy.
Protect your tattoos by wearing sunscreen. This will keep your tattoos from fading over time.
