What to do

Here’s what a person can take good care of their tattoo:

  • Always use fragrance-free, hypoallergenic soap and moisturizer when caring for a tattoo, as harsh chemicals and fragrances can irritate and even damage freshly tattooed skin.

  • Use a moisturizer that allows the skin to breathe, as clogged pores can cause an infection.

  • Make sure the area is completely dry before applying aftercare moisturizer, as trapping excess moisture under the skin can lead to irritation and heat rash.

  • Wash the tattoo regularly but gently, especially after dirty or sweaty activities.

  • Drink plenty of water to help keep the skin moist and supple.

  • While healing, cover the tattoo with clothing or a bandage whenever it might be exposed to the sun.

What not to do

Here’s what someone should avoid when it comes to tattoo aftercare:

  • Soaps and moisturizers with any fragrances or harsh chemicals. Even if a product does not normally irritate the skin, it may irritate the tattooed area.

  • Picking at scabs, as this can cause scar tissue to form.

  • Scratching the tattoo even if it becomes itchy.

  • Non-cosmetic grade petroleum moisturizers will clog the pores.

  • Using sunscreen on the tattoo before it has fully healed.

  • Swimming before the tattoo has healed. No soaking!
