Dream Tattoo!

If you have made the decision to get a tattoo then you should also be committed to taking care of your tattoo.  Taking care of your tattoo until it heals and beyond will help to preserve your tattoo.  You will want the tattoo of your dreams to last so following the tips below will help to make sure that your tattoo doesn’t begin to fade prematurely.  Your tattoo will typically take approximately a month to fully heal.  The tips below will help to make sure that the tattooed area heals properly without damaging the tattoo.


  • For the first 24 hours keep your tattoo covered with a bandage.
  • Do not touch the tattoo during the healing process and if any scabs form, do not pick at them.
  • Wash the tattoo 4-5 times daily with an antibacterial soap and dry it by patting it with a soft towel rather than rubbing the area.
  • Use antibiotic ointment after washing to keep the area free of infection and moist.
  • Use an ice pack if there is any redness or swelling.
  • Avoid soaking the tattooed area in water until it has healed.
  • Keep the tattoo out of the direct sunlight until it has healed.

Long term maintenance is also important to making sure your tattoo lasts.  It’s okay to expose your tattoo to direct sunlight after it has fully healed but you should always use a sunscreen with at least an SPF of 30 on your tattooed skin.  The sunscreen will not only protect your skin from the damaging rays of the sun but will also help to keep your tattoo from fading.  Your tattoo is a lifetime investment and proper care while it is healing and in the long run will help you to enjoy your tattoo for many years.
