The reason for this is to protect the fresh tattoo and prevent all the plasma oozing and excess ink to get all over your body and clothes.<\/p>\n The tattoo, being a fresh wound, needs to be protected against airborne particles, bacteria, and germs. This way you’ll prevent a tattoo infection and inflammation<\/a>.<\/p>\n A fresh tattoo will continue to ooze and bleed for the following 8 to 10 hours.

Make sure to carefully remove the plastic wrap or the pad. Then, wash the tattoo using lukewarm water and antibacterial soap. Avoid using regular shampoos and soaps, since they cause potentially harmful ingredients.<\/p>\n After you’ve washed the tattoo quickly, make sure to tap dry it with a paper towel or a clean, soft cloth\/towel. Make sure to tap the tattoo lightly as you dry it; do not use force or wiping motion.<\/p>\n After you’re done cleaning the tattoo, you can apply the thinnest layer of antibacterial ointment or lotion<\/a>. From this point on, you should start repeating the cleaning process once or twice a day, maximum.<\/p>\nQuick Tattoo Healing Tips and Tricks<\/h2>\n
