TATTOO AFTERCARE: HOW TO HEAL YOUR NEW TATTOO

Published 2024-02-04
Hello everyone and welcome back to another video. Today we will be taking a closer look at how to heal your new tattoo. This is the method I have developed over 24 years of being a professional tattoo artist.

This method is the one I give to all my clients and is intended to be started once your protective cover gets removed. Every tattoo artist will have a method they prefer you use. I want to provide information to those who wish to learn even more about the healing process.

    This is what I’ve done for years..3-5 days with a very light layer of Aquaphor..you can use other ointments(Hustle Butter,Tattoo Goo,etc..) let the tattoo finish flaking…bigger pieces will prob take longer..After it has all flaked,then use Lubriderm lotion..unscented…NEVER put lotion on a tattoo before it’s healed..it is only to be used to help soften and condition the new skin..

    Aveeno unscented body lotion has always done good for me.

    But how soon after tattoo can we go into sauna and vapor room
  • I just got my first tattoo and underneath it on arm, the skin is red & puffy 2 days later. Is this normal?
  • @TheJingles74
    I recommend Dial gold soap to wash it and Aquaphor as an ointment...Been using them for years
  • @zachhays8271
    I leave it alone Occasionally wash it and no ointment Heals and flakes off in 7 days and looks fine

    I have a black, shaded tattoo on my bicep I got 5/22. I took off my tegaderm recently to wash and moisturize and have been washing and moisturizing several times a day now. Minimal flakes, not much scabbing (yet?). I’ll be going to CA on 6/6, 25 days after getting the tat. Would I be alright to put sunscreen on then? I’m worried of wearing tank tops in CA with the new ink. I won’t be swimming at all on vacation.

    great video! i just got a new tattoo and i had a welt that spread out around it. It was horrible, it pulsated and everything. They did use a rounder needle this time and it was red ink , so im convinced it was those two factors

    Hey man i just got a tattoo and it got scabbed really bad. Now scabs are gone, tattoo looks dull and looks like faded. Some areas looks like they got scarred. Im worried if i developed scar on my tattoo or you think its just part of the healing process? I wisj i can send you a picture so you can have a better idea on it.
  • @justjoe1277
