Aftercare for Tattoo with Wrapping
Initial Care:
Remove the Wrap: Remove the plastic wrap from your tattoo within 2 hours after getting home.
Clean: Gently wash the tattoo with mild soap and lukewarm water. Pat dry with a clean towel.
Apply Ointment:
Apply: Use a thin layer of Bepanthen ointment or a recommended aftercare product 2-4 times a day.
No Re-Wrapping: Do not apply another bandage over the tattoo.
Ongoing Care:
Wash Twice Daily: Clean the tattoo area with water twice a day and gently dry before reapplying ointment.
Avoid: Swimming, sun exposure, and tight clothing for about 2 weeks. Opt for cool showers instead of hot ones.
Monitor Scabs:
Do Not Pick: It’s normal for scabs to form. Avoid picking, scratching, or peeling to prevent infections and ink loss.
Following these steps will help ensure proper healing of your new tattoo!
