Now, you have your fresh new tattoo, and you want to take good care of it!
From this point on, your artist is not responsible for any infection or problems you may have with your tattoo if you don’t take proper care of it.
It is very important that you follow these guidelines.
A really beautiful tattoo can turn into a disaster if the proper aftercare is not taken.
The artist took the care to cover up your new tattoo for a very good reason - to keep air-born bacteria from invading your wound.
Yes, as pretty as your new tattoo is, it is still a wound.
Open flesh is a breeding ground for bacteria and infection.
Leave the bandage on for a minimum of two hours.
Excitement of having a new tattoo will make you want to remove the bandage so you can show your friends, but your friends will just have to wait until later.
The only exception to this rule is if your artist covered your tattoo with saran wrap or some kind of plastic.
This is extremely detrimental to a tattoo, so it should be removed immediately.
You’re better off not having any covering than to be suffocating your new tattoo with plastic wrap.
After you remove the bandage, you will want to wash your tattoo. Use lukewarm water and mild, liquid antibacterial or antimicrobial soap.
Dial tends to be too harsh - generic brand antibacterial soaps are actually better) to gently wash away any ointment, blood and/or plasma and to completely clean the area.
IMPORTANT :
Do not use a washcloth or anything abrasive.
Your hand is your best tool in this case. (If your tattoo feels slimy and slippery, you have probably been oozing plasma.
Try to gently remove as much of this as possible - when the plasma dries on the skin surface, it creates scabs.)
Then pat (do not rub) the area firmly with a CLEAN towel or paper towel to get it completely dry.
Follow with a very light application of your choice of ointment.
A&D vitamin enriched ointment would be my first choice, but if you don’t have any, Bacitracin or a similar antibacterial ointment is acceptable.
