Hiya, I just couldnt seem to write a newthread as it wouldnt let me select a topic so i decided to write here. I got my first tattoo yesterday, and i know there are many ways of healing a tattoo and we should follow what our tattoo artist says. For me he wrapped my arm in cling film and asked if i was going to home and told me to remove it once i got there, i asked if i should wait at least 30mins as from what i read a new tattoo should be wrapped for an hour at least and he told me that there was no need to wait,he told me to remove the wrap,wash it with cold water and body soap, i had a ph neutral shower gel at home but because i went to my nans i just removed the wrap and washed with cold water, and didnt apply any lotion, i washed it again after a while and applied the aftercare lotion to it(it´s vegan). He told me to apply the lotion/cream at least 4x daily and i just needed to wash it once or twice,because i had already washed twice i just applied once more lotion. Maybe im just being paranoid but some ink seems to have come out and kinda spread(?) Today i woke up,washed it with cold water and soap,patted it dry and after 5mins applied the lotion... im thinking of applying more lotion throughtout the day, and then wash it once more before going to bed...but from what i also read i should only apply lotion every time i wash it..but if im only washing the tattoo 1/2x a day and applying the lotion 4x how should i do it? He also told me in case i ran out of lotion to apply vaseline but i read that that causes ink to come out... yesterday: today: As you can see there are still dots of dried blood on the coloured part, dont know if i ruined it or if its already scabbing..maybe im being too paranoid and worrying too much and it looks the same..i dont know just seems like the ink has come out in some parts.
