If I'm wearing long sleeve can I still go in the sun?

Hey, I got a half sleeve tattoo on 4th and 5th January. And I’m going on a vacation on 15th so can I go for river rafting on 18th January?

I got a tatto on my forearm last week and I had the patch on it for 6 days then I took it off how should I be washing my tatto

i got a tattoo yesterday and my tattoo artist didnt tell me about using soap with the tattoo. do i need to use one or can i just wash the area with my hands with water gently?

I just got a small tattoo and I don't have access to scent free soap at the moment would it be OK to use regular soap I have?

how often should you wash a new tattoo?

How often would you say I need to wash my finger tattoo and moisturise? I also got a behind the ear one is it just once a day I do this or twice?

I got a tattoo 2 days back. My artist left it open for a day. Then he applied the antibacterial film and suggested it be on for 5 days after which he would remove it and we can start with the moisturization process. But the problem is that my tattoo is LEAKING a little. Is this normal?

Is the difference in skin gonna affect my healing process?

If I can recommend anything for tattoo cleaning, Dial Gold liquid soap. Super gentle and no heavy added scents.

I got a tattoo yesterday ( one of many) and my artist said to leave on the clear tape for 5 days. It’s still on but I have blood and ink pooling at the bottom half. It’s been over 24 hours, should I go ahead and take the tape off and wash or let it sit. I’m worried how much ink/blood is pooling the bottom half…

How Long I should keep the peonage on for

Hello, I recently just got my thigh tatted, my artist recommend washing and air dry for a week them after that week I will be good to put unscented lotion and what not. Is this normal? Im so use to seeing people moisturize their tattoos as soon as the wrap is taken off..

hello i only have petrolium cream to moisturize is that ok its my first time.the artist ddnt give me any ointment to put.

So i just got a tattoo and The artist told me to leave it on the film for 3 days
But after the first night I woke up and it looks like the film slid a bit and also I sweated so it looks like the ink is smearing just slightly. Is this normal and should I leave it or take action? Thank you !!

I have a small fish hook with some under shadow. On my hand, I’m going on day 4. Should I switch to the lotion now. The tattoo doesn’t really bother me….

From the third day, I'm applying only virgin coconut oil 2times after washing with johnsons baby soap...

Thank you

Hi there, thanks for the info! For fine line tattoos, is the healing process faster?

can i use olive oil for after care

Weak video, basic info.

Hi there, my artist has suggested to just use Vaseline during healing process. But I have seen so many arguments about Vaseline, just wondering what you guys think about it? ( so far I’ve been following the Vaseline instruction tho) thanks xx

can i put the plastic wrap around my new tattoo once i took it off after 5 days ?
Do I keep putting a new layer of the plastic wrap ?or just leave it without the plastic ?

Hi, would coconut oil be a good moisturizing product?

do i need to wrap it every day?

Other Don'ts, some of which I learnt the hard way:

Don't have hot showers with a new tattoo. The steam can open up the pores and make ink drain out
Don't wash your tattoo in hot water
Don't put the tattoo directly under running water, whether that be a from a tap or a shower head
Don't use too much cream when moisturizing
Don't use a towel to dry your tattoo, only use a fresh paper towel / kitchen paper
Don't rub dry your tattoo. Pat dry
Don't wear tight clothes over your tattoo
Don't go to bed with a new tattoo without freshly washed bedsheets and pyjamas, or whatever you wear to bed that may cover the tattoo

its kinda late but i have a question, Does it makes sense to use coconut oil in my fresh tatoo? if answer is yes how often should i use it because im in second day and people saying i should keep my tatoo dry and some says opposite?

hi, do u know where i could buy the oil ointment and wrapping foil?

super video

Can you use grape seed on a new tattoo as a moisturizer?

Bro please help me i get my first tattoo and in mistake i over moisturized it and the healing is not going perfectly doe to over moisture some of the place doesn't start itching its almost 3 weeks what do i do man pleasee help me😢😭

That sucked,

I keep forgetting I have a tattoo and give it a healthy scratch

Lol. "Tutu"🤣

Would working hand lotion be a good moisturizer since it is unscented?

So am I supposed to wash and lotion up every day or wear the second skin for a few days.

So i just got a nee tattoo yesterday, so when should i wash it?

Can you use Vaseline?

Do Vaseline works for healing processes

When you get a tattoo, are you supposed to wash it in the mornings and moisturize it and the same thing at night?

can i use sunscreen on it?

Antibacterial soap to clean tattoo and light coat of Vermont Bag Balm is the best way. My tattoos heal everytime in 3 to 4 days. No scabbing just a tiny light line of skin flaking around edge of the tattoo( looks like a sunburn peeling but very mild). I swear by Vermonts Bag Balm

One big Don't is to not keep it too wet. Whether that he water or using too much tattoo butter in the first week.

Is it normal to bleed after? Also the when to remove the cover he sticks on?

My tats faded a lot I was sweating and was in the sun for hours playing basketball after the tat
