What are the most important things people need to do to make sure their new tattoo heals perfectly?
Make sure to keep the tattoo moisturized and clean. Use unscented body wash when cleaning the tattoo. Avoid sunbeds or extensive heat, and no baths for 24 to 48 hours after getting the tattoo.
Are there any common mistakes or things people should definitely not do while their tattoo is healing?
Definitely avoid sunbeds or extensive heat on the tattooed area. This can damage the healing skin and fade the tattoo.
How can someone tell if their tattoo isn't healing right, and when should they reach out to us for advice?
If the scabbing is very tender and the area is very red, these could be signs that your tattoo isn't healing correctly. Please reach out to us at ink_chronicals immediately for advice if you notice these symptoms.
What kind of lotion or moisturizer should I use?
We recommend using a thin layer of unscented, dermatologically tested lotion or aftercare balm. Avoid petroleum-based products as they can clog pores and interfere with healing.
