Caring for your new Custom Tattoo Design
Tattoo Care may vary from person to person depending on their skin. Tattoo
care aims to prevent scabbing, since scabbing is formed from pigments being
rejected from the skin. A scabbed tattoo can ultimately lead to fading.
Tattoo care has changed little since I last had one 25 years ago,
substituting Bepanthan antiseptic cream now for vaseline back then .
One website (Inner Vision Tattoo in Sydney) recommends no new bandaging after the
first four hours.Infections may occur directly after tattooing. Impetigo, a staph infection,
or cellulitis, a deeper skin infection, may develop. Infection is quite
common and is easily cured with the proper care and attention. Another risk
with a piercing is that your body might reject it
.Proper care includes proper tattoo removal bandage. Let the dressing for at
least 3-4 hours. Proper tattoo care includes proper bandage removal. Leave
the bandage for at least 3-4 hours.New tattoos often itch and sometimes may develop a scab; however, it is
imperative that one should refrain from scratching, rubbing or wearing
anything that may continually rub the tattoo.
All of these could damage the
tattoo at best and scar the area at worst.Tattoo healing times can differ greatly from person to person. Most people are healed within 2 weeks, others can heal at a much slower rate. Tattoo
healing and resuming your daily routine usually takes about 2 weeks. Some
people heal faster and some take longer.
Clean the tattoo very well with green soap and rinse all the soap off with
water. If you leave the soap on then you will dry out the tattoo. Cleansing
should be followed by the application of an ointment for the first three days
and by the application of a fragrance free cream for the following days. The
primary aim is to keep the tattoo moist so as to prevent it from ---scabbing--
Avoid using cloths or rough towels - use your clean hands to gently soap it
and then PAT it dry gently! Avoid this by gently using your fingertips. Use
antibacterial soap, preferably a mild one that's easy on the skin. Avoid
creams and lotions that contain fragrances, artificial colors and other
unnecessary ingredients that can irritate a healing tattoo. If scabs develop,
they can remove the color beneath them.
