Tattoos are one of the hottest fashion trends out there. It seems everywhere that you look that people are getting tattoos in record numbers. You can see the amazing art of tattoos gracing the red carpet of the to celebrity events. You can even see tattoos on the soccer mo sitting next to you. The decision to get a tattoo is not one that should be taken lightly. This will be an amazing piece of artwork that you will carry with you for the rest of your life. Once you have made the decision to get a tattoo and have sat through the time it takes to have it applied to your skin, you need to think about caring for your new tattoo. Follow these steps to care for your new tattoo and keep it looking new and fresh.
Step One
When you get home from getting your tattoo you will want to wait an hour before you remove the wrap that the tattoo artist applied to your artwork. The wound is fresh and needs time to heal a little before you start to take care of it. Carefully remove the wrap. Your tattoo will be sore and can hurt if you pull the wrap off too fast. Use this technique to clean your new tattoo daily.
Step Two
Wash your tattoo with antibacterial soap. This is an open wound and you need to make sure that you kill any bacteria that may be present. Bacteria will cause your tattoo to become infected. Use a soft washcloth to wash your tattoo. Your tattoo will be tender and needs to be treated with items that are as soft as you can get.
