Initial Tattoo Care

How to take care of a tattoo?

So you have finally got a tattoo for yourself. And so it is time to tell you that you should be careful if you dont want any sort of skin infections or allergic reactions.

One should take care of their tattoos at least for a few weeks after they get their tattoo designs otherwise it wont heal properly and may get get damaged or get permanently disfigured.

Here are a few things that you need to keep in mind:
- Remove your tattoo covering after a few hours after you get your tattoo. But,do it after you have washed your hands with warm water and soap.

- Dry the area with a paper towel but make sure that it is clean. Ah,yes! please dont remove bathroom towels as they contain bacteria most of the time.

- Apply some ointment(you could use Tattoo Goo or H2Ocean Foam) to the area. You should do this about 2 to 3 times a day.

- Dont keep touching your tattoo otherwise it wont heal properly. You should also not let others touch your tattoo with their dirty hands otherwise you could get an infection if their hands are dirty

Good luck to you. And I hope that your tattoo heals quickly and properly.
