7 essential care you must have with your knee tattoo
To help you take care of your tattoo in the best possible way, Marta has listed the main care needed with this tattoo. They also apply to drawings made on other parts of the body. Check out the tattoo artist’s tips:
- Avoid tight clothing, as “the friction of clothing with the skin can interfere with the result of the tattoo healing”.
- In the first days, avoid physical activities, because “sweat can be harmful to healing”.
- Take care of your diet for the first few days, avoiding very fatty foods, seafood and sugars.
- Do not use ointments that accelerate healing: “ointments such as anti-inflammatories accelerate the natural healing process, and can leave the tattoo looking grayish and dull”, explains the tattoo artist.
- Take care of cleaning the tattoo, “regularly washing the tattooed area with saline or antiseptic soap”.
- Hydrate the tattoo after 2 or 3 days: “the ideal is to use moisturizers without too many chemicals”, comments Marta.
- Avoid sun and pool “especially in the first 15 days; in addition, do not apply sunscreen during the healing process”.
By following these precautions, you guarantee a smooth healing and avoid problems with your tattoo. And, for more information and tips about the world of tattoos, check out ideas and ask all your questions about scar tattoos!
