Tattoo Aftercare – How To Take Care Of A Tattoo<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
If you want to keep your newest art piece looking good forever, or at least as long as possible, you should take care of it during the healing process<\/span><\/span>. The tattoo process itself isn’t over <\/span>just<\/span><\/span> because you aren’t in the chair under the needle anymore. Taking care of it to prevent infection and promote proper healing of your new ink is <\/span>just<\/span><\/span> as important. So here is a timeline on what to expect and what to do. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Step 1: The First Few Days<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Your new tattoo is going to feel a bit like a sunburn. It is, in effect, an open wound. <\/span>However<\/span><\/span>, unlike other wounds it should <\/span><\/span>be treated<\/span><\/span> with an antibacterial ointment and a bandage<\/span><\/span>. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Your artist will wrap or cover your tattoo once they <\/span>are finished<\/span><\/span> applying it. Depending on the scope of work, you need to leave this bandage on for 2 hours to over night. <\/span>Thoroughly<\/span><\/span> wash it once uncovered and use a light application of Aquaphor<\/a>, H2Ocean<\/a>, or another aftercare product<\/span><\/span>. Do NOT use too much. <\/span>just<\/span><\/span> enough t make your new tattoo shiny is enough. Be sure to wash your tattoo <\/span>in between<\/span><\/span> applications with warm water and a fragrance free soap. And do NOT re-bandage your tattoo. It needs to breathe. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Step 2: Days 5 – Two Weeks<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
At this point your new artwork is <\/span>probably<\/span><\/span> starting to peel and flake. Do not pick at or scratch it. Allow this dead skin to fall off <\/span>naturally<\/span><\/span>. <\/span>Prematurely<\/span><\/span> removing flaking skin can cause damage to your tattoo and scarring. It will not end up looking the way you intended. And you artist will be able to tell if you were picking at it once it <\/span>is healed<\/span><\/span>. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Continue to apply aftercare ointment as necessary until <\/span>fully<\/span><\/span> healed. Continue to avoid too much direct sunlight on your tattoo or soaking it in water. In the summer time, this means no swimming. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Step 3: Post Healing<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
You are going to want to show off your new ink. Who doesn’t? <\/span>To keep it looking brand new, use skin moisturizing lotion <\/span><\/span>periodically<\/span><\/span> as part of your normal routine<\/span><\/span>. This will keep your tattoo looking vibrant for <\/span>all of<\/span><\/span> your friends. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
