Many think that the experience of getting a new tattoo stops when the tattoo artist is done inking. Truth is this is only half the process. The healing process and care for your new tattoo is just as important. Let's look at the proper way to care for a new tattoo

Your tattoo artist will recommend the products you should use for caring for your new tattoo Most will give a few free samples to get you started. These professionals know what works best, take their advice, but be sure and let them know if you have any allergies or start having any type of reaction to the products the suggest.

After your tattoo artist gets done with your new tattoo they will apply some ointment and cover the tattoo with a sterile bandage. Make sure and leave it on for the time they suggest. Normally this is a couple of hours.

The first time you remove the bandage doing it very carefully. Then wash you tattoo with antibacterial soap and warm clean water. When washing and drying your new tattoo use a patting motion. Never rub or scrub the area.
