Tattoo aftercare:

Usually the tattoo artists, cover your tattoo having a bandage, cling wrap or gauze. You have to make note of your new tattoo covered for two hours or overnight, depending on the size of the tattoo or the advice of your tattoo artist. This is done to prevent any bacteria entering into the skin and stop the blood from clotting. When it’s time to remove the bandage, do so slowly and gently with clean hands. If the bandage sticks, stop peeling and pour cool water between the bandage and skin. Put off a few minutes and start peeling again. Remember in order to hurry while taking the bandage. Do it slowly and gently, to avoid peeling your skin or parts of the tattooing. Otherwise it will create a dull gap in your beautiful tattoo.

After removing the bandage, gently wash the area with warm water. Use a mild anti-bacterial soap free of deodorants or other additives. Rub the soap on the tattoo gently with your fingers. Make without doubt you remove all traces of blood from it. After cleaning, pout cold water on the tattoo for a few minutes. The cold water will help the tattoo heal quickly, as it tightens the pores. Cold water also helps the color collection in. Now, gently pat the tattoo dry with a clean, dry cloth material. Don’t rub it dry.

Now, apply an alarmingly thin layer of antibacterial ointment like Neosporin or Bacitraycin, with your fingers. Do not apply thick layer of ointment, otherwise your skin cannot breath. A thin layer is enough to cover the tattoo, depending on its size.

Avoid hot tubs, pool water, or soaking in the tub during the 1st two weeks. This is to avoid the fading of the ink due to excess hydration and avert the exposure to bacteria.

You have eliminated your tattoo clean in order to avoid bacterial infection. Wash the tattoo at least twice a day for the first week. Apply ointment on the tattoo 4-6 times for that first three era. It will keep the tattoo moisturized and prevent its fading.
