How do you care for a new tattoo?
Keep it clean, after 4 hours take off the dressing and gently wash the tattoo with mild soap and warm water, pat the area dry then apply a thin coat a mild fragrance free moisturizer, do this several times a day until the tattoo has healed. Keep it clean. Do not wear tight clothing over the tattoo until it has healed, do not soak excessively which means no hot tubs, swimming pools or swimming in general until the tattoo has healed. Do not pick or scratch the tattoo during the healing process, once the tattoo is healed always use sunscreen with a high SPF rating to protect your artwork from the sun.
