What you can not eat after getting a tattoo (because it disrupts healing).
Feeding can improve healing and prevent inflammation in the skin, leaving the tattoo more beautiful.
So when getting a tattoo it is important to avoid foods like fried foods, processed meats
like sausage, sausage and ham, and alcoholic beverages, as they are examples of foods with
high inflammatory power.
What Not to Eat After Tattooing.
The foods that should be avoided after getting a tattoo are those rich in hydrogenated fats,
refined oils, sugars and salt such as:
1. Soft drinks and juices ready; 2. Fries such as chips, pastels and other
savory foods, fast food; 3. Processed meats such as sausage, ham, sausage,
bacon, mortadella and salami; 4. Candies, stuffed biscuits, cakes, ready-made
pasta for cakes, chocolates, cereal bars; 5. Instant noodles, beef broth in cube, frozen
ready meal, ice cream; 6. Alcoholic beverages.
Excessive consumption of these foods increases inflammation and hinders the healing process
of the skin, and can also lead to other health problems such as headaches, high cholesterol
and diabetes. Ideally, these foods should not be consumed for at least 1 week after
the tattoo.
What to eat to speed healing.
To accelerate the healing process of the skin, one should consume foods rich in antioxidants
and anti-inflammatory compounds, such as omega-3. Among the most antioxidant foods are: tomatoes,
red fruits, citrus fruits like orange and acerola, and herbs such as garlic, onion and
saffron.
Anti-inflammatory foods are those rich in good fats such as nuts, avocados, salmon,
tuna, sardines, olive oil, peanuts, flaxseed, chia, and sesame. In addition, taking 1 to
2 cups of anti-inflammatory teas will also help in healing, and you can use herbs like
chamomile, ginger and rosemary.
Care beyond feeding.
In addition to caring for food to ensure proper skin renewal with the tattoo, others also
need to take other care like washing the place with antiseptic soap for at least 2 weeks,
avoid sunbathing and not get into the sea or the pool for at least 2 months.
Finally, one should look for a reliable place to make the tattoo, which is allowed to perform
and in which the material used during the procedure is totally sterilized, as this is
essential to avoid the transmission of diseases such as hepatitis
and AIDS.
