tattoo aftercareYour tattoo will be wrapped to keep it protected before you leave the shop. If you were given a regular wrap, read the “Regular aftercare” section. If you were given Saniderm, read the “Saniderm” section. Show The short version: Moisturize a couple times a day with a very thin layer of lotion (no petroleum products). It will be itchy, flaky, scabby - Do not pick or scratch. No direct sun exposure and no hot tubs/swimming/baths for 3-4 weeks. Wait at least 4-6 weeks before getting a touchup or second session. If you have any questions at all about healing or aftercare, please ask! Email: TATTOO AFTERCARE SUGGESTIONS1. After getting tattooed, leave wrap on for no more than 12 hours. 2. Only remove wrap once you are ready to give it a thorough wash. Use non-scented soap and warm water. 4. Let the tattoo air dry or pat with clean paper towel. 5. Apply a thin layer of light, fragrance-free, dye-free lotion and massage into tattoo for the first several days. HELPFUL TIPS: -Aftercare supplies: Fragrance and dye free lotion (Aveeno, Cetaphil, CeraVe,) mild soap, fresh roll of paper towels, plastic wrap (Saran Wrap.) -Drink plenty of water while healing. -Keep your new tattoo away from: sunlight, friction, dirty clothing, dirty people, watchbands, hot tubs, pools and lakes. -Never pick or peel; tattoo scabs will fall off naturally. -Use high SPF sunblock to protect your tattoo after it has healed. Always May 28, 2009 at 6:47 pm #30139 Hi.. I just got my 3rd tattoo today.. Can I use normal moisturizer on it sometimes ? I am thinking about the moisturizer: CeraVe moisturizing Lotion.. Here are the ingredienses: Water Purified, Glycerin, Caprylic/Capric Triglycerides, Behentrimonium Methosulfate/Cetearyl Alcohol, Ceteareth 20, Cetearyl Alcohol, Ceramide 3, Ceramide 6-11, Ceramide 1, Hyaluronic Acid, Cholesterol, Dimethicone, Polysorbate 20, Polyglyceryl 3 Diisostearate, Potassium Phosphate, Dipotassium Phosphate, Sodium Lauroyl Lactylate, Cetyl Alcohol, Disodium EDTA, Phytosphingosine, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Carbomer, Xanthan Gum May 28, 2009 at 6:50 pm #65226 Hi Wait until it has scabbed or peeled before applying that stuff – it has a high alcohol content that will dry out the skin and could pull ink. Sounds crazy I know as it is a moisturiser but I am talking about the top layer not what is absorbed. Try using it after 5-7 days should be fine. Take Care The only difference between a person with tattoos, and a person without is this. The person with tattoos does not care if you do not have any. May 31, 2009 at 10:37 pm #65313 My husband is heavily tattooed. For aftercare of his tattoos he uses Lubriderm hand cream, the unscented kind. He doesn’t use Tattoo Goo or Polysporn or anything else, just Lubriderm. He has never had a problem with any of his tattoos. He’s been using it for several years now. May 31, 2009 at 11:56 pm #65317 did your artist give you any aftercare instructions ?…… i now give each client an aftercare information sheet plus a free 40g tube of savlon. dont use moisturiser until about the 4th day, wait until it is scabbed  IF YOU ARE A NEW MEMBER THEN CLICK HERE and introduce yourself out of courtesy this is a community for interacting not just an index search system for frequently asked questions in the tattoo world….

June 2, 2009 at 11:16 am #65359 lornab Guest @ Any nappy rash cream is usually the best thing to use for tattoos – I never really use normal moisteriser on any of mine and always give them a good helping of sunscreen before going out. I didn’t do it with my first one and the discolouration is really noticable compared to the rest that I have looked after Viewing 6 posts - 1 through 6 (of 6 total) You must be logged in to create new topics.
