Tattooing : Precautions To Be Taken
Don't
 Remove the bandage/covering
on your new tattoo for at least 4 hours.
Go swimming, or
soak in a hot tub or bath.
Expose your tattoo
to direct sunlight for the first 30-60 days. Sunlight can fade ink,
and can also cause the freshly healed skin above the ink to become
milky, making the tattoo less distinct.
Itch, pick, or
scratch the tattoo.
Shave over your
tattoo until it has healed.
Use hydrogen peroxide
or rubbing alcohol on your tattoo.
Rebandage your
tattoo
Let your pets rub
or lick your fresh tattoo. If your pet comes in contact with your
fresh tattoo then you should wash it off ASAP.
Do
 Apply sun block whenever
it is exposed to protect it from damaging UV rays.
Wash your tattoo gently
with soap and water immediately upon removing the bandage, until
all the slime is gone.
Make sure clothing
touching your tattoo is clean and soft.
Do some research on
the tattoo you are wanting to get. Make sure you know what you are
getting and if it is something you want for the rest of your life.
Do make sure to wash
your hands before applying the aftercare product to your new tattoo.
Ask your friends for
a reputable artist, drop your question on tattoo forums and visit
different tattoo studios before deciding.
