This may be your first time or your tenth, but you should always read the tattoo care guide before getting a new tattoo. You may be wondering how logical it is to look at the instructions before getting a new tattoo, but it's like baking a cake, you just don't want to make any mistakes with these instructions because new tattoos are open wounds and prone to infections.

You must take good care of your new tattoo and keep it as clean as possible to ensure the cleanest possible healing so that you prevent infection and end up with the most beautiful tattoo ever.

While the stages of tattoo healing are unique to each person, the tattoo healing process follows a general pattern as there are people in this world. The specific healing process of each tattoo depends on the person's skin type, the location of the tattoo on the body, and the technique of the tattoo artist. All of these factors can cause differences in the healing process from person to person.

Your tattoo artist will give you care instructions. These care instructions vary from artist to artist. I recommend that when in doubt, you always consult your tattoo artist before seeking medical assistance. Your tattoo artist can look at your tattoo and tell you what to do if there is a problem to fix healing issues.

If your tattoo artist cannot help, they should send you to a doctor for medical treatment. If they are not, then you should of course make sure that nothing is endangering your health. This is your responsibility.

Doctors often don't know much about tattoos and prescribe unnecessary medications that can disrupt the healing process of the tattoo. Some doctors may even be prejudiced against tattoos. For this reason, I suggest that you contact a tattoo artist first if you suspect they are having trouble healing your new tattoo. The artist works with tattoos day in and day out and knows how best to heal his work.

When you leave the tattoo studio, your new tattoo will be bandaged to protect it from outside touch. This bandage should be removed 2-3 hours after tattooing. Your tattoo may bleed a little in the first 24 hours, remember that your new tattoo is like an open wound.

Before removing the bandage, be sure to wash your hands with soap and warm water between your fingers and under your nails. Then dry your hands with a clean paper towel. Don't use an old towel that's lying there, or even a clean towel, as the lint can get on your hands.

Be careful not to let too much blood dry on the bandage so it sticks. Be very, very careful when removing the bandage so the tattoo doesn't bleed again. If you just rip the bandage off, you could ruin the look of your new tattoo, and you don't want that, do you?

Gently, very gently, wash the tattoo with antibacterial soap and water to clean it. Do not rub the tattoo, use a washcloth or anything other than your fingers or hands to clean the tattoo. Do not rub, but "stroke" over the tattoo when washing. When finished, pat the tattoo dry with a clean paper towel. Or use clean toilet paper even if you don't have paper towels handy.
