Tattoo Gift Cards as the Perfect Christmas Present!
To ensure your tattoo heals properly and stays beautiful, it’s important to follow these steps carefully:
Remove the plastic wrap after approximately 3 hours. Gently rinse the tattoo with lukewarm water and use a mild, fragrance-free soap without dyes or unnecessary chemicals.
Let the tattoo air dry for 20 minutes after washing. Then apply an even layer of ointment, ensuring the entire area is well-covered.
Use plastic wrap to cover the tattoo, securing it with paper tape to ensure it stays in place.
Keep the tattoo covered with plastic wrap for three days. Change the plastic wrap three times daily. Each time you change the wrap, wash the tattoo thoroughly with lukewarm water and soap, then apply a fresh layer of ointment.
This treatment prevents the formation of scabs or crusting that could pull pigment out of the tattoo, which might negatively affect the final result.
In the first few days, you may notice fluid and ink collecting under the plastic wrap. This is completely normal. Remember to gently clean the tattoo when you change the plastic wrap.
To avoid infections, it is essential to change the plastic wrap three times a day. Bacteria thrive in moist environments, so frequent changes help prevent infection.
After three days, you can remove the plastic wrap. From this point, apply a thin layer of ointment to the tattoo a couple of times a day for another week to keep the skin soft and hydrated.
During the first three weeks, it is crucial to avoid direct sunlight as well as swimming in saltwater or chlorinated water. These can interfere with the healing process and the tattoo’s color.
If the tattoo becomes red and irritated on the second day, you can remove the plastic wrap one day earlier. This may help the skin breathe and alleviate discomfort.
