TATTOO AFTERCARE
FOLLOW THE AFTERCARE INSTRUCTIONS THAT ARE PROVIDED BELOW
Once you got your Tattoo done your Tattoo artist will place a surgical transparent bandage for quick healing of your tattoo, you have to keep it on for two day’s and during this time you will see blood and ink coming out and trapped in that bandage it is called an ink sack, It is normal don’t panic it’s how your body heals.
After two days take the bandage off [use a bit of warm water if your bandage doesn’t come off easily] and follow the instructions below.
Wash your hands, gently wet the tattooed area (don’t place your tattoo under tap directly), using soap provided by Tattoo artist wash your tattoo (make sure to give your tattoo a good wash to eliminate all glue and plasma) and rinse with water, Air dry your Tattoo don’t use any towel.
Use the ointment provided by Tattoo artist apply a thin layer on the area three times a day (morning, afternoon, evening respectively).
If you don't moisturize a new tattoo, there are chances it won't heal properly. Moisturizing keeps it safe from infections and allows the quality of the tattoo to be preserved. It'll also prevent you from itching, which will stop the area from healing.
Repeat this process for two weeks for best results for your Tattoo.
Consuming alcohol or blood thinner before during or after the tattoo will result in blood loss with the blood chances of ink coming out with it increases significantly which leads to Tattoo looking faded.
Sunscreen is a must if you want your tattoo to last longer. [Important-you can start using sunscreen after a month of getting your tattoo]
