First, pay attention to whether the equipment in the tattoo shop is hygienic. Tattooing can be regarded as a minor operation, so the hygiene of the equipment is very important. The tattoo operator should use disposable gloves and needles. The tattoo machine should be made of stainless steel.
Second, we must understand the quality of tattoo pigments. Nowadays, tattoos generally do not use the dyes and inks used in tattoos but use liquid plant pigments soaked in alcohol. Since plant pigments are extracted from natural plants, they are less susceptible to infection when they penetrate the skin.
Third, after tattooing, you need to apply professional tattoo ointment or medical petroleum jelly. After 3 hours, rinse the ointment and body tissue exudate with warm water. Do not rub the skin of the tattoo site too hard. The rinse time should not be too long. Use absorbent cotton or professional Dip the paper towel dry and do not apply for any medicine afterward. Do not use towels when wiping the tattooed area, and prohibit soap and body soap. Keep rinsing twice a day for about a week (if you don't wash it, it will only form thick scabs and recover slowly, which is very uncomfortable).
Fourth, it is normal that body tissue fluid will ooze from the wound 1-2 days after the tattoo. Do not touch the wound with your hands. Do not apply trauma ointment at will. Itching, crusting, and peeling are normal after a few days of tattooing. Do not scratch the wound. To avoid infection or discoloration, the underwear should be soft and not too tight.
Fifth, do not swim, sauna or exercise vigorously, or expose to strong light temporarily after tattooing. Do not treat pierced wounds with alcohol or purple potion (alcohol will irritate the wound, and the purple potion will destroy the color of the tattoo).
Sixth, try not to drink alcohol or eat seafood and spicy food before the tattoo is completely restored because these will cause redness, itching, and even allergic symptoms on the tattoo site, which may easily cause adverse consequences for the tattoo.
Seventh, if the skin recovers well, it will usually heal in about 10 days. After 20 days, it will return to the best viewing period. The tattoo site should be protected consciously (if the skin on the tattoo site is injured, it will affect the color. In severe cases, it needs to be supplemented. ), you can use petroleum jelly ointment to moisturize the skin, so as not to affect the effect of metabolism.
Eighth, if there is ulceration, suppuration, running water, delayed wound healing, or fever, please consult a tattooist or go to the hospital for examination.
Ninth, do not use animal blood or cinnabar for tattoos. Pigeon blood cinnabar tattoos are extremely dangerous.
