Tattoo Care

If you wish to have tattoo on your body you need to take care, regardless of part of your body. May it be arm, back, chest, head, foot follow some guidelines I mentioned below. First your tattoo artist applies some ointment and wraps your tattoo on your body. If proper tattoo care is not taken it may end up with a wound at the place of tattoo. So it is important to cover at least for four hours after wrapping the tattoo on the body. Later remove any blood or ink stains left on the body clean with mild soap and warm water. Rinse and allow air dry for some time. Do this daily for first 5days. Do not wear any thing which will rub against new tattoo.

New tattoo is like an open wound so stay away from actions such as swimming, tanning and do not remove the bandage early. Follow these proper tattoo care guidelines to ensure your tattoo makes properly on to your body. It needs a little attention for a week or two but tattoo will be with you for lifetime. Make sure you get a good night's sleep the night before your tattoo appointment and be sure to eat a good meal a hour or two ahead of time.
