Every tattoo artist tells you something different... but I kept it wrapped for the first 5 hours.... let it air out.... then for the next 5 nights... wrap it in plastic wrap & ointment... make sure your new tattoo doesnt dry out.
You really shouldn't tan at all if you have tattoos because it will make your colors fade really quick, but if you insist, I would wait at least two weeks after getting anything done, and make sure you cover the tattoo with high spf sunblock.
Never, use aquaphor!
You can expect scabbing to start 2-5 days after your tattoo. Don't panic when ink seems to be flaking off in the scab- this is part of the healing process, and does not affect your tattoo most of the time. It is really important to not pick at the scabbing as your tattoo heals, this can distort the tattoo, and will require touch-ups. Gently apply a scant amount of scent free moisturizer once or twice a day. When you shower, pat dry your tattoo. Scabbing should be almost completely done in 5-7 days, but sometimes you'll still find scabbed tissue- again, don't pick at it, just let it fall off naturally.
It depends on the size of the tattoo, the detail of the tattoo, how long it takes, the place you go, etc
A tattoo which is on the shin should sting for a few days.
Well, if you're thinking about getting a tatto you should think long and hard about it. Tattoos are permanent, it's just like getting another nose. You have to make sure you're tattoo is something you'd be happy forever. If your stuck, why not have a tattoo of a trophy you won Or something. If I were to get a tattoo I wOuld get a big juicy cheese burger.
It all depends on what your aftercare instructions are. In Ireland, you have to keep your tattoo covered with cling film for 3-4 days. It should be fine to wear a long sleeved shirt as long as it's not too tight and you keep your tattoo well hydrated.
i wore my sweater same day as getting my tattoo done on my wrist just as long as it doesnt rub against or touch the area where you were tattooex to much then you should be fine
You should not use "homemade" tattoo ink, it is not safe.

Warfarin (a drug which stops your blood clotting), should only be taken when prescribed by a qualified medical practitioner (a Doctor).The Doctor will tell you how long to take it and if you are worried you should discuss this with the Doctor who will explain your treatment to you.
My children wear temporary tattoos and they always stay on until they take a shower. You should have no problem getting the tattoo to stay on all day.
Yes! As long as you are correctly warfarinized and the underlying problem has been resolved.
