What should you do?
-
Keep the Bandage On: I will cover your tattoo with a bandage or cling film. Leave this on for at least a few hours, as recommended by me. This protects the tattoo from bacteria and prevents irritation.
-
Wash Your Hands: Before touching your tattoo, always wash your hands with antibacterial soap to avoid introducing bacteria to the area.
-
Clean the Tattoo: After removing the bandage, gently wash the tattoo with lukewarm water and a mild, fragrance-free anti-bacterial soap. Avoid using a washcloth or sponge. Pat the area dry with a clean, soft towel.
-
Apply Aftercare Ointment: After cleaning, apply a thin layer of a recommended tattoo aftercare ointment (Bepanthol Baby, Bepanthen tattoo, Hustle butter). Avoid using petroleum jelly as it can clog pores.
What are the other important things?
-
Moisturize Regularly: Keep the tattoo moisturized by applying your creme minimum 3 times a day. Ensure your skin stays hydrated but not overly saturated. If you see that your skin gets dry frequently, there is no problem to apply cream more frequently.
-
Avoid Sun Exposure: Keep your tattoo out of direct sunlight. UV rays can fade and damage your new tattoo. Once healed, always use sunscreen to protect it.
-
Wear Loose Clothing: Avoid tight clothing that might rub against the tattoo. Opt for loose, breathable fabrics to prevent irritation.
-
Do Not Pick or Scratch: Your tattoo will start to scab and peel as it heals. It's important not to pick or scratch at the scabs as this can cause scarring and ink loss.
-
Avoid Submerging in Water: Stay away from swimming pools, hot tubs, and baths. Quick showers are fine, but prolonged exposure to water can damage the tattoo.
-
Do not use alcohol-based products on your tattoo for 15 days. You should pay attention to things such as disinfectant, perfume, deodorant, etc.
-
You can exercise but not first 3-4 days. And please do not forget that you need to keep your skin clean and mouisturized. (for example no hot yoga or climbing or swimming or the sports that you sweat a lot)
