I’ve gotten a whole lot of questions about this recently, so here is everything you need to know about how to take care of your tattoo for it the heal properly!
For a month after you got your tattoo;
– keep it mosturized (use an unsented cream and put it in a thin layer at least three times a day)
– don’t put a thick layer of cream (otherwise the lines of your tattoo will bleed under the skin)
– wash it twice a day with unsented soap
– don’t scrub, pick it or scratch it
– don’t submerged it under water until it’s completely healed (no bath or swimming)
– do not put it in direct sunlight
– pat it dry (again, never scrub!)
For after your tattoo is healed (to keep it nice over the years) ;
– put sunscreen on it when you go in the sun
– put hrydrating lotion on at least once a week
