For sensitive skin, it's essential to choose an aftercare method that minimizes irritation and promotes faster healing. Here are some tips that might help:
Skin Preparation: Before getting a tattoo, exfoliate well and keep your skin hydrated. Clean, moisturized skin heals faster and encounters fewer issues.
Cleanliness During the Process: The tattoo area should be washed with antibacterial soap and cleaned with alcohol to prevent any kind of infection.
After the Process: Avoid sunbathing and exercise for two weeks. If the tattoo is in an exposed area, use sunscreen with at least SPF 30.
Daily Care: Wash the tattoo with mild soap and water three times a day for at least three weeks. Apply tattoo cream after each wash and whenever necessary, around three to four times a day. Opt for creams rich in panthenol, aloe vera, or calendula, as they offer strong healing and soothing effects.
If you have any concerns, it’s always a good idea to consult a dermatologist or your tattoo artist before proceeding.
