The first step to the tattoo aftercare is after the soap is applied is to bandage the tattoo. Though instead of a gauze that can stick use plastic wrap. Use antibacterial ointments on the area.

Can I use Yunnan Baiyao for tattoo aftercare?

Since the ingredients are often closely guarded secrets, I would not recommend it for use as tattoo aftercare. Use products that you are 100% sure are lanolin- and petroleum-free. Even better, use products that are manufactured specifically for tattoo aftercare, like Tattoo Goo. We have been providing Tattoo Aftercare for over ten years. There are many products you can choose to use but to make an informed decision read our FREE 23 page Tattoo Care Guide.

Can you use cocoa butter with shea moisturizer on your tattoo?

You can use Cocoa Butter or Shea Butter, they are both very good for aftercare. Many people are using the wrong aftercare these days. Many people are still using petrolium based products such as A&D ointment, Bacitracin and Neosporin. These are some of the worst aftercare products to use on your Tattoo. They do not absorb into the skin to condition it, they sit on top. Think of it as a liquid saran wrap. Your tattoo must be able to breath in order to heal. Covering your tattoo with anything like saran wrap, bandages, or a petroleum product can have a drawing effect and cause color loss in your Tattoo. Also, many people breakout with the use of petroleum products. Here is a couple of things to avoid when looking for a Tattoo Aftercare ointment Petroleum Lanolin Mineral Oil Colors Artificial Preservatives Parabens Fragrances Any form of Citrus oils Sunscreen -Skinlab Tattoo


When can you get your tattoo wet?

After you get your tattoo done, wait to shower or bath until the next day. However, you will want to peel the bandage off 1-2 hours later, under running warm water. You can get your tattoo wet anytime the day after your it's done, but do not submerge or soak it. Always pat it dry, and never rub it. Google "Tattoo Aftercare".

Can i wear a long sleeve shirt to work 3 days after getting a tattoo?

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.


Recently got a tattoo on forearm and there are blisters appearing on certain parts of it could anyone tell me why this is happening is it infected or is this normal?

First of all are the blisters on just the tattoo or are they on the surrounding area? If the blisters are found to be in the tattoo and the surrounding there is not much to worry about. I have seen this many times and it usually comes from shaving too close (it's like a razor burn). Now, if it just on the tattoo you may be having a reaction to the soap that was used during the tattoo process, or, you may be having a reaction to the aftercare you are using. YOU ARE USING A TATTOO AFTERCARE, YES! If your tattoo is older that 10 days and you still have these small blisters, try using straight alcohol to help dry up the blisters. I would not advise using it before the tat is at least 10 days old. If the blisters start to exude puss you should see a doctor immediately and get some antibiotics. Your fist 10 days is critical to your tattoo, do what your artist told you and you should have little to no trouble. If you tattoo was performed at a professional shop, you can always ask to see the autoclave, spore test results, and board of health license.

Is neosporin ok for tattoo aftercare?

No Neosporin is not recommended for tattoo aftercare. Generally the tattoo artist will give you an ointment, if they don't you can buy an ointment called bacatine from your local drugstore. Three days after the tattoo it is recommended to use a unscented moisturizer like Lubriderm or Aveno. word We have been providing Tattoo Aftercare for over ten years.

Safe4Hours is a long-lasting first aid antiseptic and skin protectant so it keeps microorganisms from entering open wounds like tattoos. It is lotion-based so it continuously moisturizes for 4 hours, which helps keep the tattoo from drying. This product can be used for any type of wound. I really doubt it. I don't know what you're planning on doing, but Neosporin won't do anything to a tattoo!


How long will the average tattoo last before significant fading occurs?

Unfortunately it really depends - If you follow the aftercare instructions properly and take good care of your tattoo by avoiding the sun and tanning etc it can be a good 10 years until you notice color fade. But if your artist aplied the ink incorrectly or you spend a lot of time in the sun depending on the colors it could fade in a matter of months. I use the aftercare products and tattoo cover sleeves from tat2x.com - love love love them, I have 4 tattoos and non of them have faded so far. Good Luck!


How long should you wait to go in the ocean with a new bellybutton piercing or tattoo?

Well for a piercing you want to avoid the ocean for at least a week (seven days) then be sure to wash the piercing once you are done to avoid infections. Best bet is to say out all together and wait till the piercing is at least a month or more old. As for the tattoo you would be wise to avoid soaking any tattoo for at least 4 weeks, my counterparts in the tattoo section would give you more detailed information on aftercare for your tattoo.
