How to Care for a New Tattoo

Immediate Care After Getting a Tattoo

A tattoo may be beautiful however when it is just finished it’s still an open wound, so it needs the right amount of care for it to heal properly. Each specific stage of the recuperation method that the tattoo will require one different type of caring method or the other.

Keeping Your Tattoo Clean

New tattoos should be kept as clean as possible and free from any germs, dirt or anything that could compromise it. Healing stages differ from one individual to the next so results may differ.

Factors That Affect Healing

Different elements play their roles in the way that your tattoo will heal. A wide variety of those factors are mainly centered around the type of skin you have and where your tattoo is placed on your body. Also be aware of the style of tattoo that the tattoo artist created.

The First Few Hours

As soon as your tattoo is done, the artist will send you on your way with a covering on your new tattoo. They will more than likely recommend that you to keep the covering on for anyway from a few hours to one day and also avoid any exposure to the sun.

What to Expect in the First 24 Hours

Getting a new tattoo is similar to having minor surgery so don’t be surprised if your tattoo bleeds a bit for the first 24 hours. This is normal, and your covering will help take in any bleeding from your tattoo. It is important to be very careful when removing the covering so that you don’t let a large amount of blood dry to your covering.

Common Symptoms During Initial Healing

A new tattoo in the initial healing stage will more than likely be red, sore and a bit swollen as well. In addition to this you will probably get a slight stinging feeling similar to a sunburn which is very normal at this early stage.
It is also common for a new tattoo to feel dry, tight and itchy as well. The best way to treat your tattoo at this stage is with H2Ocean’s tattoo aftercare products to minimize any discomfort.
