ap0c_^ Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 I'm getting a new tattoo here in about two weeks, does anyone have any advice on the best way to take care of it for for the first few days/week after? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JessicaJoy Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 http://www.eucerinus.com/products/hb_aho.html I have used this one all four of my tattoos and none of them scarred and they all healed in a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cr(+)sshair Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Vaseline, vaseline, and vaseline. Makre sure there's more than enough on it and seal it off with a plastic bag when you shower. (The vaseline will direct most of the water away from it but just to be safe) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piscian Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 If you have a decent tattoo artist they should show you what you need. They'll put skin lotion on it and wrap it in shrink wrap and you need to let it breath and reapply lotion. Fair warning if you're getting those irritatingly generic gay stars and post them on here I'll disown you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CantBeFaded Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 triple antibiotic is the best. prevents infection and helps your tattoo heal fast. i use the cheap stuff from dollar general. make sure you cover the whole tat with it so it doesnt dry out.. crosshair the saran wrap is for pussies. that stuff is for if you are going to be retarded about it like running into shit. i'm currently 3/4 sleeved out so i'm no expert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ap0c_^ Posted January 25, 2011 Author Share Posted January 25, 2011 Thank you very much! Oh, and as for this... Fair warning if you're getting those irritatingly generic gay stars and post them on here I'll disown you. No worries, I'm getting my family's crest on my back I'll post pictures when it's done. Five hours in the chair, here I come! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
