How To Care For Your New Tattoo

By Scott Murray


One of the best ways to stand from the rest is to invest in a few personalized modifications. One example of which are tattoos which dated back all the way in ancient times. Since these options are usually permanent, users are expected to follow a thorough aftercare ritual for their Portland metal tattoo art.

To start, make sure your artist ensures that your new tattoo is covered with a thin layer of petroleum jelly and some bandage. This helps prevent drying out the skin around the finish while also keeping bacteria and external organisms from causing infections. However, depending on the studio, different management procedures may be practiced which means you should ask them directly.

While the procedure is generally safe, there are some risks that could lead to harmful consequences. Since the operation does involve some skin damage, persons are encouraged to follow a post application management care plan to ensure the healing process runs by smoothly. Considering that artists may have different standards, the care plan may vary.

Another tip to always remember is to keep your tattoo clean and dry at all times. This means avoid soaking it in water for a few weeks or a month. This means avoiding baths and swimming in pools although cold showers are perfectly fine. The reason why this temperature matters is because it prevents it from fading the ink too fast.

As soon as you are finished with washing, pat the area dry with a towel. After it is dry, apply some antibacterial ointment or cream to keep the skin hydrated while also preventing tiny microorganisms to penetrate through the wounds. Depending on said instructions, ointment application may be applied two times a day or on an as needed basis. To get the best option available ask your artist for brand suggestions.

Another tip to remember is avoid prolonged exposure to the sun. This is especially true for colored artwork which can result to quick fading if left exposed for too long. Since this design option requires extra care, users are expected to apply SPF coverage on their colorful tattoos regularly to keep the colors vibrant and stylish.

Throughout this period, one many notice some scabs and flakes forming. If this happens to you, do not panic since in most cases this is usually normal and is just an indication that your wounds are starting to heal. As much as possible, do not scratch or prick any of your scabs. If it starts to bleed often, visit a medical professional to avoid infection.

The healing process generally varies on clients and the designs of said tattoos. In most cases, smaller designs tend to heal faster because a large portion of their skin is unaffected. For persons who have larger work done, expect to be patient at all times and to follow the plan as closely as possible.

Like most body modifications, body art require constant care and maintenance to help them last a long time. While different parlors offer various direct aftercare tips, it helps to research on other options just in case. Should you need medical expertise, visit a doctor or dermatologist to get your questions and concerns addressed.
