Caring for your tattoo can prevent those complications and ensure that the tattoo heals properly. After getting a new tattoo, the outer layer of skin will typically appear healed within 2 to 3 weeks. However, the healing process can take upward of 6 months. Aftercare, which includes daily cleaning, ointment, or moisturizer, should continue for at least this long to reduce the risk of infection or other complications. 1. Cover it up The artist should apply a thin layer of antibiotic ointment over the tattoo and then cover the area in a bandage or plastic wrap. This covering prevents bacteria from getting into your skin. It also protects the tattoo from rubbing onto your clothes and getting irritated. 2. Gently wash the tattoo After a few hours, you can remove the covering.First wash your hands with water and soap. Then gently wash the tattoo with warm water and fragrance-free soap. Pat your skin dry with a soft cloth.Apply a small amount of fragrance-free and alcohol-free moisturizer to the tattoo. You can keep the covering off at this point to let your skin breathe. 3. Wait for it to heal While your tattoo heals, you should: Wear sun-protective clothing whenever you go outsidecall your tattoo artist or doctor if you experience any symptoms of infection or other problemsYou You shouldn’t: Cover your tattoo with sunblock until it’s fully healedscratch or pick at the tattoowear tight clothing over the tattoogo swimming or immerse your body in water (showers are fine) 4. Tattoo aftercare products Use a mild, fragrance-free soap or a specially formulated tattoo cleanser to clean the area. Uncented moisterizing lotion to keep your skin hydrated. Your tattoo artist can recommend a tattoo-specific cleanse. 5. Clean daily You should use lukewarm — not hot, which may hurt the skin or open the pores, causing ink to draw inward — and sterile waterTrusted Source to clean your tattoo at least two to three times a day.Before you begin, make sure your hands are thoroughly clean using an antibacterial soap. Then, splash water onto the tattoo, follow with fragrance-free and alcohol-free soap, and either let the tattoo air dry or gently dry it with a clean paper towel. 6. Don’t scratch or pick Scabbing is a healthy part of the healing process, but picking or scratching at the scab can delay the healing process and may affect the integrity of the tattoo or result in scarring. 7. Avoid scented products It’s crucial to avoid scented lotions and soaps on your tattoo, and depending on where your tattoo is located, you may even want to switch to unscented shampoo, conditioner, and bodywash. Fragrances in products can cause a reaction when it comes into contact with tattoo ink.

After getting a tattoo, the outer layer of skin (the part you can see) will typically heal within 2 to 3 weeks. While it may look and feel healed, and you may be tempted to slow down on the aftercare, it can take as long as 6 months for the skin below a tattoo to truly heal. Skin around larger tattoos takes longer to recover and certain factors, like picking at the scabs, not moisturizing, forgoing SPF, or using a lotion with alcohol may slow the process.

It’s important to know the signs that your tattoo isn’t healing properly or has become infected. Symptoms of improper healing include: Fever or chills. A fever may indicate that your tattoo has become infected, and you should see a doctor right away. Prolonged redness. All tattoos will be somewhat red for a few days after the procedure, but if the redness doesn’t subside, it’s a sign that your tattoo isn’t healing well. Oozing fluid. If fluid or pus is still coming out from your tattoo after 2 or 3 days, it may be infected. See a doctor. Swollen, puffy skin. It’s normal for the tattoo to be raised for a few days, but the surrounding skin shouldn’t be puffy. This may indicate that you’re allergic to the ink. Severe itching or hives. Itchy tattoos can also be a sign that your body is allergic to the ink. The allergic reaction to a tattoo can happen right after, or as much as several years after getting the tattoo. Scarring. Your tattoo will scab over because it’s a wound, but a properly healed tattoo shouldn’t scar. Signs of scarring include raised, puffy skin, redness that doesn’t fade, distorted colors within the tattoo, or pitted skin.
