Caring For A New Tattoo

by Trailer411

When you finally decide to get a tattoo, the first thing you'll
need to do is find a reputable tattoo artist.  Most tattoo
artists have several designs that you can pick from.  If you
don't find anything you like, you can always ask him to make a
custom tattoo.  You should always be careful in what you choose,
as you'll have the tattoo for the rest of your life.  The design
is very important, although not nearly as important as taking
care of it.

Good tattoo artists will also clean and apply antiseptic
ointment to your tattoo as they create it.  Expert artists know
that this helps keep the tattoo healthy.  Once the tattoo is
finished, the artists will wipe it down, clean it off good, and
apply another coat of antiseptic ointment.  Once the ointment has
been applied, he will put a piece of soft tissue or cellophane
over the tattoo.

Once the tattoo is finished, the artists should tell you how to
take care of your new tattoo.  Some of the better artists will
talk to you and give you a detailed sheet with all of the
information you need.  If you went to a tattoo artist who didn't
explain this to you, you may be wondering just what you should
do.  Taking care of a tattoo isn't hard as long as you know what
you can and can't do.

When you first get home with your new tattoo, you should never
hop right in the shower.  You should keep it dry for the first
few days, but also clean it every few hours.  Before you touch
the tattoo or clean it, you should always make sure that your
hands are clean.  If you keep your hands clean, you won't have to
worry about an infection.

You'll also want to visit your local drugstore and purchase a
tube of A&D ointment.  A&D ointment is the best to use.  A&D will
keep your tattoo clean and shiny and should be used for the first
few days. Once the ointment starts to dry on the tattoo, you
should wipe the old application off and apply some more.  Don't
rub it too hard, or you could damage the healing process.  For
the first few days, you should avoid using soap as well.

After 5 or 6 days, you can quit using the ointment.  A&D
ointment will keep your tattoo healthy, which you'll notice the
first time you apply it.  After you stop using it, you should use
an unscented body lotion.  You want to avoid body lotions that
have scents, as they can easily irritate the tender skin that
resides under your tattoo.

After you have used the lotion for a few days, you can stop
using it.  Most tattoos, after they have healed, tend to leave a
scab in some areas.  If your tattoo has a scab, you should be
careful when you try to pick it.  If you aren't careful, you
could end up damaging your design.  The best thing to do is you
have a scab is to leave it alone.  You can put A&D ointment on it
if you want, as most of the time a scab will itch.

A tattoo can be a great thing to have providing you take care of
it. Tattoos will stay with your for the rest of your life, unless
you choose to get them surgically removed.  Taking care of your
tattoo now will keep it healthy and infection free in the long
run.  If you follow the above advice on how to take care of your
tattoo you won't have anything to worry about.
