Angelina Jolie New Tattoo

View:

Once your tattoo is complete the tattoo artist will tell you the best way to take care of your new tattoo and it is probably a good idea to listen to him. Most shops will have an information sheet listing care instructions. There are three things to remember about caring for your new tattoo, moisturize it but do not over moisturize it and most importantly, NEVER pick at the scabs as they begin to form.

If you choose to do otherwise and neglect these rules, you run the risk of getting infected and you also run the risk of ruining your new tattoo. As long as you keep to these bits of advice, you should be alright. Forget what other people say about taking care of new tattoos and only stick to the rules which are known to work.

Many times after people get one tattoo, they will decide to change the rules for the next one. Even if you used something that you had an allergic reaction to, contact the tattoo artist and ask them what you can substitute it with. It never hurts to do a patch test on your skin before you get the tattoo and see if you have a reaction.

Another problem is that various tattoo artists have their own ways which they recommend you should take care of tattoos; the problem is that these methods vary from one tattoo artist to the next and this tends to become a problem. While a particular artist may recommend the use of Neosporin, another might recommend that you powder your bed before you go to sleep. Some would recommend mild baby soap in order to wash the tattoo or other such methods etc.

Other people will recommend different ointments and lotions. Some people swear by Tea Tree Oil (toner) from the Body Shop for its healing qualities. The most affordable treatment is Vaseline Intensive Care.

If you live in a dry area and you're prone to use a lot of lotion anyway, the last one, in a large pump bottle, may be your best bargain. This should be enough to avoid any problems and enable you to properly take care of your new tattoo.

The differences in opinion from one tattoo parlor to the next can be rather confusing but there are various valid reasons why such differences in opinion exist. Some of the methods that you will use to take care of your tattoo have already been discussed but a lot of other options exist fo you and these options include commercial ointments and lubes.

There is a plausible reason for the variety of ways to take care of your tattoo; this is because of various improvements in technology and a variety of products that have become available in the marketplace. Petroleum jelly was a largely popular product in the past due to the fact that it was widely available, inexpensive and did the task rather well. However ever since then it has been discovered that products which are petroleum based tend to drain the color from tattoos and they possess no healing powers.

Before you head down to the tattoo parlor make sure you do not build up liquid courage by consuming alcohol. The truly professional tattooist will not give a tattoo to an inebriated person for several reasons. On an ethical level, he wants you to make an informed decision so you will have a lasting affection for your new body art. Secondly, alcohol makes one bleed more profusely which can not only make it harder to insert the ink but the extra blood flow can wash the ink back out of the skin and leave a spotty tattoo.

Since tattooing requires the breaking of the skin to inject the ink underneath, you will have to take care to prevent any infection from getting into the abraded skin. Your tattooist will treat the skin once finished with an antibiotic ointment and bandage it for you. This initial treatment will give your skin time to start the healing process. How well you maintain this treatment till the skin is healed is up to you.

The original bandage should be removed after a couple of hours and should not be re-bandaged as the wound will need airflow for best healing. You will need to treat the area with antibacterial ointments for about a week. The best choices are Vitamin A& D ointments, Bacitracin or Zinc Oxide ointments. For those allergic to such antibiotics, a water based antibiotic cream such as Curel can be substituted. Under no circumstances should you use hydrogen peroxide. Not only can it bleach the colors of your tattoo but the bubbling effect can wash the color right out from the skin.

When cleaning the area of your new tattoo, you should do it by hand very gently with warm, soapy water. Do not scrub with a rag or apply much pressure. Rinse the soapy water off with cold water and then gently pat the area dry. No not rub or scrape across the tattoo with a towel as this can easily extract the ink or push it around and out of place to blur your design.

The healing skin will flake and form scabs. Do not pick at them or try to remove them before they fall off naturally. This will lift the color right out of the skin. Until your tattoo has healed you should avoid swimming and sunbathing. Chlorine in the water can have a bleaching effect on your tattoo and ultraviolet light can break down the chemicals in the ink. It is best to always keep a good sunblock on your tattoo even after it is healed. Remember that constant exposure to chlorinated water your tattoo may fade a bit over the course of years. If you spend a lot of time in such aquatic environments you will most likely need to get your tattoo refreshed at least once in your life.
