After the tattoo artist has tattooed the pattern for us, you may be very satisfied with the effect. But remember, after the tattoo is finished, you must be more cautious and take good care of the tattoo on your body. You have to know that after tattooing, many people do not pay attention to care and maintenance, resulting in some details that were originally perfect. As a result, problems occurred during the restoration process, resulting in flaws. Therefore, how to clean the tattoo afterwards has become a more important issue. So what should I do after getting a tattoo?
1.Remember to clean the wound after tattooing
Be sure to wash the wound after tattooing, and wash frequently before scabs. The reason for cleaning is that even if the tattoo itself is a kind of wound, it will ooze bleeding and cell tissue fluid after the skin is damaged. If it is not cleaned, the tissue fluid will ooze out and accumulate layer by layer after air drying, thus forming a thick scab. When the thick scab falls off, it will affect the effect of the tattoo design-that is, it may cause the tattoo to fade or severely fade. Therefore, if you want to keep the pattern as best as possible, cleaning after the tattoo is a necessary procedure.
2.Pay attention to the time of cling film
Generally just after the tattoo, the tattoo artist will wrap the tattoo area with plastic wrap so that the tissue fluid will not dry too quickly after the cell tissue fluid leaks out. It is best to go home and wash within three to four hours, otherwise it will take time for the skin to be wrapped in the plastic wrap. Too long will cause the "wound" of the tattoo to fester due to airtightness, and the consequences will be more serious. Use warm water when washing, use the palm of your hand to gently wipe the tattooed area to remove the oozing blood and tissue fluid. After washing, use a clean towel to gently dry it. After the skin is dry, apply a layer of special tattoo ointment, and leave it alone. . After three to four hours, you can use clean toilet paper to gently wipe off the tattoo special ointment before washing (because the application of the ointment will accelerate the metabolism of the tattoo wound skin and secrete tissue fluid), and then apply the tattoo special ointment.
3.Pay attention to the use of special tattoo ointment
Cleaning and apply tattoo ointment every three to four hours. Wash and wipe everything before going to bed, go to bed, and continue washing and wiping after getting up for 2~3 days until the tattooed skin starts to harden. Once the tattoo wound becomes hard, it is necessary to wash as little as possible and keep the skin dry. If you wash too much, it will be like the scab being soaked by water, and it will also affect the color and effect of the pattern after recovery. If the skin is too dry, you can moisturize the skin with a little tattoo ointment. This method may be a little troublesome, but it does make the tattoo avoid scabs. In addition, you need to strictly control the time and don't be lazy.
