Tattoo dry healing is an acceptable part of a tattoo aftercare routine as long as you follow all other aftercare Ink Fanatic Tattoo Studio instructions closely. Not taking extra care of your tattoo can lead to scabbing or scarring.
And if you’re concerned that dry healing won’t work for you, feel free to use a safe, chemical-free moisturizer to prevent any reactions or interactions with your skin or the tattoo ink.
If you’re really not sure, trust your tattoo artist. They’re the expert, and they’ll have insight into which method may work better for your skin. Here are important tattoo aftercare tips that you should follow no matter which method you decide to follow:
Don’t cover up your tattoo again after you take bandages off. Your tattoo artist will bandage your tattoo with surgical wrap, but after you take this bandage off, don’t cover up it again. This can slow down or interfere with the healing process.
Wash your hands with antibacterial soap and water before you touch your tattoo. This can help prevent bacteria from getting on the area while it’s healing.
Cover your tattoo with clothing or sunscreen. Sun and UV rays are bad for your tattoo healing process. Wear long sleeves, long pants, or other clothing made of breathable cotton, and wear natural mineral-based tattoo sunscreen if your tattoo is going to be exposed to the sun.
Splash warm, sterile water on the tattoo and lightly wash it with gentle, natural soap without any fragrance or alcohol at least twice a day to keep it clean. Don’t pick your scabs. Scratching or messing with scabs can make it take longer for your tattoo to heal, result in pain or scarring, or even cause it to heal in a way that make the tattoo look different than expected.
Don’t immerse your tattoo in water for at least 2 weeks. Don’t swim or take a bath, and try to avoid getting water on your tattoo in the shower.
