Tattoo Aftercare Maintenance Tips. After you get tattooed it is very important to follow the proper tattoo aftercare and maintenance so that it heals properly without any infections. It’s also important to know that your new tattoo needs to breathe as it heals. Applying excessive lotions, creams or getting them wet for too long will can delay and also hinder the healing process.

Tattoo Aftercare Starts Right Away

Tattoo aftercare starts the day that the tattoo is finished. After a few hours remove the covering, then wash it H2Ocean’s Blue Green Foam Soap with light pressure so you don’t ruin the detail of the new tattoo. Make sure that all or about all hints of blood are  gone.

Wash Your Tattoo with Sea Salt Tattoo Soap

For the best tattoo aftercare, wash the tattooed area a few times a day. If the tattoo is on your hand or foot then wash it at least three to four times each day since that region is more inclined to attract dirt. Then rinse with warm water and pat it dry with a paper tower. Let the tattoo air dry for around twenty minutes.

Applying Ointment to Your Tattoo

Next step is to apply a light coat of H2Ocean’s Aquatat Ointment. Keep in mind that the tattoo needs to breathe, so apply just a little bit and let it soak into the skin. If you apply too much ointment or too little it will make the tattoo scab, which you would prefer not to happen.

Handling Scabs During Healing

Inside 3 or 4 days of beginning tattoo aftercare, the skin will start to form scabs. When tattoos scab they tend to tingle a bit. It will be extremely tempting but do you best to try  and not pull off the pieces, rub, pick or scratch the tattoo. Doing any of these will harm the delicate skin and may cause blotchiness in shading. This is all in your best interest so be mindful not to peel the scabs off or else this could compromise the end result.

Post-Healing Tattoo Maintenance

After your tattoo heals you want to make sure to exercise the best maintenance on your tattoo. It is in your best interest to keep your tattoo out of the sun but this isn’t always an option, especially if you work outdoors. If you are going to be out in the sun then use H2Ocean’s Surfer’s Choice SPF 50 Sunscreen Spray. Apply it before you are going to be exposed to the sun. If you are going to be sweating or in the ocean or pool then reapply it after every hour or so.

Conclusion

By following these tattoo aftercare maintenance tips you will be on your way showing off your new tattoo to all your family, friends and beyond.

H2Ocean started with one simple idea:
Use unrefined Red Sea salt to heal with the minerals the body actually needs to repair.
23 years ago, that idea began in the tattoo and piercing industry.
Since then, it has expanded into the medical field and mainstream care for everyone.
From ink and piercings to everyday healing.
Built on minerals. Backed by experience.

Fair question. And no, this isn’t some random mouthwash hype.
I’ve tried a lot of mouthwashes and most of them just burn and dry your mouth out. Healing Rinse doesn’t do that. It’s gentle, helps with moisture, and actually feels good to use. That’s why I stick with it.
