Tattoos may have once been taboo, but today they are more widely accepted than ever before. However, there’s still a lot of misinformation regarding best practices to ensure proper healing of the newly tattooed skin.
Although a tattoo is just a cosmetic procedure, its effects go much deeper than the skin. For this reason, aftercare is essential for keeping the tattoos looking vibrant and crisp and also for the body’s overall health.
The problem is that aftercare sometimes takes the backseat to the commotion that comes with getting a tattoo. However, if not taken seriously, it could cause damage to the tattoo and even lead to infection.
Rasmus, CEO & founder of Sorry Mom (Tattoo Aftercare Company) explains that there are several factors that will affect the overall healing process (age, placement, health, skin type) which we have no control over. However, we do have control over the aftercare routine given to the newly tattooed skin.
While there are standard rules and protocols for tattoo preparation, aftercare seems to vary from artist to artist. Some may cover new tattoos in cling film while others prefer to put on a bandage. An artist may also recommend wet healing (using tattoo care products) over dry healing (letting the skin healing by itself).
However, research shows that the treatment of any wound – including tattoos – in a moist environment has several benefits, including a lower risk of infection, a faster healing process, and less pain. More info can be found at https://sorrymomshop.com/blogs/aftercare/wet-healing-tattoo-benefits
There is other measures that can be taken to ensure better looking and healthier tattoos: avoiding the sun, not swimming with new tattoos for the first 3-4 weeks, and keeping the skin hydrated and moisturized, to name a few.
Therefore, including the right choice of aftercare products and following a few basic practices will make a huge difference in the outcome of tattooed skin in the long term.
