With my most recent tattoo, Myke asked me how I took care of my tattoos, and quickly told me to stop doing that, and go with the re-wrap method. He said to go home and wash it like normal, and after washing for the first few days to basically smother it with aquaphor, really get it in there, and afterwards dab it all off with a paper towel. Wrap the tattoo up in saran wrap for the first 3 nights just to sleep in. I thought the apply/remove of aquaphor sounded kinda crazy, but damn if this wasn't my fastest, most solid heal yet. After the 3 days of rewrapping I basically dry healed, didn't get itchy or even feel the need for lotion for a week.
