Usually the tattoo artists, cover your tattoo using a bandage, cling wrap or gauze. You have should be your new tattoo covered for two hours or overnight, depending on the size of the tattoo and even advice of your tattoo artist. This is accomplished to prevent any bacteria stepping into the skin and keep away from the blood from clots. 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. Stay up for a few minutes and get started 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 tattoo design. 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 together with fingers. Make without doubt you remove all traces of blood from it. After cleaning, pout cold water on the tattoo for a moment. 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 materials. Don’t rub it dry.
Now, apply a seriously thin layer of antibacterial ointment like Neosporin or Bacitraycin, with your palm. 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 first couple of weeks. This end up being to avoid the fading of the ink due to excess hydration and prevent the exposure to bacteria.
You have to keep your tattoo clean in order to avoid bacterial infection. Wash the tattoo much less twice a day for the first week. Apply ointment on the tattoo 4-6 times for that first three period. It will keep the tattoo moisturized and prevent its fading.
