How to Care for Your Fresh Tattoo

After getting your tattoo, it's crucial to follow these steps to ensure proper healing: Keep the tattooed area clean and dry for the first 24 hours. Avoid soaking the tattoo in water for the first two weeks. Apply a thin layer of ointment recommended by your tattoo artist. Avoid direct sunlight and excessive sweating on the tattooed area. Avoid picking or scratching the scabs as they heal.

Ongoing Care for Your Tattoo

Once your tattoo has healed, it's essential to continue caring for it to maintain its vibrancy and detail: Moisturize the tattooed area regularly to keep the skin hydrated. Avoid exposing the tattoo to prolonged sunlight to prevent fading. Stay hydrated and maintain a healthy lifestyle to promote skin health. Consider touch-up sessions with your artist to refresh the tattoo over time.
