So, as mentioned above, you can remove the bandage applied in the salon no earlier than after 3-4 hours.

After that, the tattoo must be carefully washed with warm water and soap, removing the remnants of the cream and ichor. It is not worth wiping off the tattoo, as you can further injure the damaged skin. You can only dab the tattoo area with a clean, dry towel. It will not be superfluous to rinse it with a solution of miramistin or chlorhexidine.

Be sure to lubricate the tattoo with healing cream. Sometimes people who think they are specialists in the field of tattooing are advised to apply a thick layer of petroleum jelly or shaving cream to the tattoo. Vaseline, of course, will soften the skin, but it will not give any more effect, but a thick layer of cream prevents oxygen from reaching the wound, which noticeably slows down the healing process.

Until the tattoo is completely healed, it is better to refuse to visit baths, saunas, the beach, do not steam or soak the tattoo, limit yourself to a warm shower for a while.
