Best Tattoo Aftercare Routine

Getting a new tattoo is always a thrilling experience. From choosing the right tattoo parlor to selecting a stylish design, from choosing the experienced tattoo artist to following the aftercare guidelines, you need to be very careful.

Tattoo aftercare is very important as this helps in healing the tattoo fast.

Follow the simple given guidelines after getting an inked tattoo done.

• Never scratch your Tattoo - Sometimes, new tattoos may get itchy, but never scratch it. Wash it in lukewarm water with anti-bacterial soap, pat dry with a paper towel and apply tattoo aftercare cream. This would help ease the itching.
• Never re-wrap the tattoo - Remove any plastic-cling film, used by tattoo artist, if any, to cover the tattoo after first few hours. This cuts off oxygen, preventing your skin to breathe and thereby damaging your skin and ink. However, medically tested films can be used because these are breathable and helps heal fast.
• Use a tattoo aftercare cream - Use a tattoo aftercare cream as recommended by your tattoo artist with that helps cure damaged skin, prevents drying, and reduces painful irritation.
• Never scrub your tattoo with a cloth - Use clean hands to wash your tattoo, gently with lukewarm water. Use a clean towel or paper towel and gently pat the tattoo area dry, never rub your tattoo.
• Never use alcohol-based soaps - Use antibacterial fragrance-free soap with lukewarm water to clean the tattoo area; and not alcohol-based soap as it causes rashes, irritation, and itching.
