Tattoo Aftercare
Thursday, April 30, 2009 11:35Posted in category Uncategorized
Good looking tattoos on our skin tend to attract a lot of attention. That is what we want, isn’t it. We want to be unique and we want to be noticed. Choosing the right tattoo design with the right color scheme can be time consuming and expensive. After we’ve inked, we want the tattoo to last for a number of years and maintain its vibrancy. What are good tattoo care practices to maintain healthy looking tats? Read on …
The following are a few important steps you should take as a good tattoo care practice:
Keep Tattoo Dry
As soon as you’ve got your tattoo, remove the bandage at home and wipe off the ointment and oozing body fluid with a tissue. This is important to prevent dead cells from accumulating, sticking and drying on the surface of the tattooed area. Remember, DO NOT wash the tattooed area. Washing may lead to infection due to bacteria in water.
Apply Ointment Regularly
Apply a thin layer of A&D ointment, Bacitracin, or comparable product on your fresh tattoo. Make sure you are not allergic to any of the product. In fact, product selection is not really important. The key to good tattoo care is to apply the ointment CONSISTENTLY.
Do Not Expose To Sunlight
Keep out of direct sunlight. Exposing your new tattoo to the sun is not a good idea. Sunlight may cause swelling of redness on the tattoo. If you really have to go outdoor, apply a layer of moisturizing sunscreen with Sun Protection Factor(SPF) 20 or above on the tattoo.
Good tattoo care is always a smart thing to do if you want to maintain the sharpness and the vibrancy of the tattoo. Most people do not bother, and they end up with ugly looking tattoo after a period of time.

Today, I went to the beach front with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She put the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is totally off topic but I had to tell someone!
