How to take care for a tattoo?
To heal tattoo properly, follow these tips:
- Do not remove the bandage for 24 hours.
- Do not touch the tattoo place and do not rip off the crust, which can be formed.
- Wash your tattoo with antibacterial soap (do not use alcohol or oxygen peroxide, as it will dry out the tattoo). Dry your tattoo with a towel, just pat, but in any case, do not rub.
- Use only antibiotic ointment.
- Place the cold water bottle on the place of tattooing, if it was red or swollen.
- Try not to wet the tattoo until it fully heals. Avoid prolonged swimming in pools, hot tubs.
- Hide your tattoo from the sun until it is completely healed.
Even when tattoo has healed, it still very sensitive to the rays of the sun, so it is best to always protect it from direct sunlight. If you used to often outdoor activities, you should always apply sunscreen on the tattoo. This not only protects your skin but will prevent tattoo colors from fading.
