Aftercare
Remember, your new tattoo is an extension of your identity and a reflection of your personal style. You want it to look amazing, and the best way to do that is to take care of it properly.
So, don’t hesitate to ask your tattoo artist for advice on how to care for your new ink, and be sure to follow their instructions carefully. With a little bit of effort, you can enjoy your new tattoo for many years to come.
The tattoo healing process is slightly different for everyone, but since it is an open wound, there are some general stages that your new tattoo will endure before becoming fully healed. After you remove the plastic wrap that should have been applied after your new tattoo has been completed, the first 1-3 days will include some inflammation. This includes redness, swelling, or tenderness. The next couple of weeks will show visible signs of the healing process. The skin will peel, flake, scab, and itch but it is most important not to engage with the uncomfortable feeling. Picking and peeling scabs is a big hindrance that can cause injury and aesthetic damage to the tattoo. By the second to third week, the tattoo may seem dull and dark but at about the month mark, your tattoo should be fully healed and show its vibrant color if all aftercare precautions have been properly followed. The importance of tattoo aftercare cannot be stressed enough. As a new tattoo is an open wound, applying the best and right products becomes crucial to the success of your healing tattoo.
Overnight your body will naturally seep more plasma which can form a bubble or pocket of fluid under the bandage, this fluid will likely be a muddy color, this is normal!
This is completely normal and the fluid will reabsorb and dry out underneath the bandage in the next 24 hours or so, but remember everyones body will act a bit differently.
You can shower with the bandage on, as it’s waterproof! But please be careful not to over saturate the bandage with too hot of water.
(Baths, pools, hot tubs, and bodies of water should be avoided while the bandage is on and for 1 week after the bandage is removed.)
