Wait at least 2 hours. Your artist will tell you how long to leave the bandage on. Listen to them! When you do take the bandage off, clean the area with mild soap and water using your fingers and pat dry with paper towels. DO NOT USE A WASHCLOTH OR BATHROOM TOWEL TO WASH OR DRY YOUR NEW TATTOO! Allow the tattoo to air dry for several minutes before applying any ointment or lotion and only use a small amount. A little goes a long way. Frequently apply small amounts of unscented lotion that does not contain alcohol or sunblock.

How long should you leave a tensor bandage at a time?
A tensor bandage should typically be left on for 24 to 48 hours, depending on the injury and the advice of a healthcare professional. It’s important to monitor for signs of excessive swelling, numbness, or tingling, which could indicate that the bandage is too tight. After this period, the bandage can be removed to assess the injury and allow for movement, unless otherwise directed by a medical professional. Always follow specific instructions given by a healthcare provider.
How long should you leave on a pressure bandage?
A pressure bandage should typically be left on for 24 to 48 hours, depending on the severity of the injury and the advice of a healthcare professional.

If any of these occur, or if the bandage becomes saturated with blood, it should be reassessed and potentially changed sooner. Always follow the specific guidance given by a medical provider for the best outcome.

Generally a bandage wouldn't be used post drainage. A simple stoma (like) bag would be popped over the opening and left to dry out. If the output is still high, a pressure dressing may be used, but is slightly unconventional.
Which skinned knee will heal faster with it covered with a bandage or left alone?
a skinned knee that is not covered with a bandage willl heal faster. If uncovered the wound will form a scab faster. You should cover the scrape initially, then allow the wound to "breath" for a period of time. If pain subsides when the wound is covered, then at least uncover the wound while you sleep. If you leave a single bandage on for a long period of time without removing it, the bandage could scab to your scrape. As the blood dries it will hold to the bandage, and it is very painful to remove it. My advice is to cover the wound when needed, but leave it uncovered whenever possible.

How long should you contemplate your tattoo?
Usually, if it's something I am able to draw, I will draw the tattoo idea on myself and leave it there for a few days at a time to get used to it and see if I like it. If I do decide I like it after that, I wait at least 6 months up to a year. If it still seems like a great tattoo idea, I will go ahead and get it done at that point.
