Tattoo aftercare is important for preventing infection and scarring, and for maintaining the tattoo's appearance and longevity. Here are some tips for aftercare:
Wash
Gently wash the tattoo once a day with an antibacterial soap and warm water, or if it gets dirty or after sweating. You can also clean the bandage with fragrant-free soap and water after removing it.
Bandage
You can leave the bandage on overnight if it feels comfortable and secure, but you should remove it in a clean bathroom after 2–3 hours so it doesn't stain your sheets.
Sun exposure
Avoid direct sunlight for 3–4 weeks, as it can fade the ink and affect healing.
Clothing
Avoid wearing tight clothing that rubs against the tattoo and could cause irritation.
Water
Avoid immersing the tattoo in water from bathtubs, hot tubs, or pools.
Itching
Gently pat the area to soothe itching, but avoid scratching or picking at the tattoo.
Hydration
Staying hydrated improves skin elasticity, which can improve the appearance of your tattoo, even after it's healed.
