Here are a few other things you can do to protect your tattoo art and keep it looking its best:
Follow aftercare instructions: Your tattoo artist should provide you with instructions for caring for your tattoo during the healing process. These instructions may include recommendations for using a tattoo salve or moisturizer, avoiding certain activities, and protecting the tattoo from the sun. It’s important to follow these instructions to ensure that your tattoo heals properly and retains its color and vibrancy.
Protect your tattoo from the sun: Exposure to the sun can cause your tattoo to fade or become discolored. To protect your tattoo, it’s important to use sunscreen with a high SPF (at least 30) and to cover up the tattoo with clothing when you are in the sun.
Avoid picking or scratching your tattoo: Picking or scratching your tattoo can cause the ink to spread or become distorted. It can also increase the risk of infection. If your tattoo is itchy, try using a moisturizer or using a cool compress to soothe the skin.
Keep your tattoo clean: It’s important to keep your tattoo clean to prevent infection and help it heal properly. Gently wash the tattoo with soap and water, pat dry, and apply a moisturizing cream or tattoo salve as directed.
Avoid harsh chemicals: Some chemicals, such as chlorine and certain cleaning products, can damage your tattoo. To protect your tattoo, it’s a good idea to avoid exposing it to harsh chemicals.
