Proper care of the tattoo

You finally decided to make a tattoo and have already become a happy owner of an amazing figure on your body. However, it is now very important to ensure proper care of the tattoo.

Surely you have learned enough about tattoos and have opted for a solid salon where professionals work, because this is the key to the successful and safe conduct of this difficult procedure. Now it depends a lot on you and on how responsible you will be to implement all the recommendations. A good master will instruct you and tell you what to avoid in the next two weeks, that's the time you'll need to get a tattoo to heal.

Care for the tattoo began already when the expert put the first bandage on the picture. This is necessary to prevent germs and dust from reaching the injured skin. Now your task is not later than 8 hours to carefully remove the bandage and rinse the place of your new drawing with warm water and soap. It is better if you use a liquid soap, and then gently dry the tattoo with a clean dry towel. In no case do you need to rub the place where the needle of the master passed recently, it is better just to blot with a soft cloth.

Remember that your tattoo should "breathe", so do not create a "greenhouse effect" for it and glue it with adhesive tape, it will only go on and heal for a long time.

Take for the rule of washing the pattern on the body twice a day (in the morning and in the evening). Naturally, this should not be done with a washcloth, but simply with warm water and soap, gently rubbing the place with your fingers. Such care for the tattoo will avoid the formation of a hard crust, as well as discomfort and painful sensations during washing.

It should be said that the healing process takes about two weeks. Therefore, for this period, forget about hot baths and visits to the pool. Agree, it's not such a long time, so you can tolerate it. "Fresh" tattoos can not be steamed, and also exposed to ultraviolet radiation, respectively, it is not recommended to sunbathe in the sun and in the solarium.

When doing physical exercises, sweat is released, which irritates the damaged surface of the skin, so you will have to take a short break in the sport.

However, care for the tattoo is not only the correct treatment of the skin area on which it is applied; It is very important not to comb and once again do not touch this place. Clothing is best to wear a spacious, preferably of natural materials.

There are a number of tools that are desirable to use in the healing period of damaged skin. First of all, ask your master the question: "How to smear a tattoo?". It should not be a spray or a gel, use only ointments and apply them in a thin layer with neat circular motions. Among the most common remedies, you can advise ointments "Bepanten", "Solcoseril", "Miramistin". All these products have antiseptic, healing effect, and also promote tissue regeneration.

I would like to note that when choosing the place for drawing the coveted drawing, it is necessary to remember that over the years the skin has the property of stretching and also sagging, so it is worth considering this fact. Also note that you can make a correction of the tattoo, if over time it has lost clarity and brightness. Long exposure to the sun in a negative way can affect the quality and brightness of the picture, so it is recommended to use sunscreens with a high SPF factor.

Remember that by ensuring proper care of the tattoo in the period after its application by the master, you can avoid many negative consequences that can lead to deformation and change the quality of the pattern applied to the skin.
