How to look after your Tattoo

A few key tips -

Keep it clean: Gently wash your tattoo 2-3 times a day and pat it dry.

Apply ointment: Use a tattoo-specific ointment or fragrance-free lotion 2-3 times a day.

Avoid tight clothing and excessive moisture.

Protect from sun exposure and avoid scratching or picking at the tattoo.

Its pretty simple looking after new tattoos, just like your skin elsewhere. Simple, gentle skin care. I don't use corticosteroids as I heal pretty quickly. I have never had a problem and I don't suffer much pain. Still, listen to the dermatologist here, he does know what he is talking about!

Using steroids is not fun and games, you should avoid using them for an inconveniance as is tattoo healing, a little itch doesnt justify using cortico-steroids on your body 😮!
