Hi my name is Sean Beck at Mom's Tattoos in Wilmington, NC. on behalf of Expert Village
here to tell you a little bit of tattoo after care. Alright let's say you got the first
part done. You went and found yourself a really good artist, he done a really nice tattoo.
They are going to bandage up your tattoo, they are going to give you their after care
and then they are going to send you on the way. In about a hour or 2 up to maybe 4 hours
you want to wash your tattoo. You want to remove the bandage, use hot water, soap, you
can use a wash cloth, some kind of luffa, something that is really going to clean your
skin. Give it a good scrubbing, this is not going to feel good at all but it is important.
Hot water is good for opening up the pores, it will release a lot of the dry blood and
plasma that is caked up on your tattoo afterwards. The first cleaning is very important because
that is when your tattoo is going to bleed the most so it is going to have a lot of the
blood and plasma on it, it is trying to form a scab on the tattoo. You don't want scabs
so you are going to want to wash the tattoo the first time, it is not going to feel great
but it is very important so keep it clean.
