But what if i told you there are 9 Hacks that you can do to speed up the healing process of your new tattoo? Yep! and in this video i am gonna share all 9 with you!

Hey Mike are you still the weekly live streams?
@@Summerrain691 yeah! Gonna get back to those soon. Just been moving some things around
@@EvolveINK ok
What if im a mechanic and work a lot
I'm getting my first tattoo in 3 weeks and the fact that TH-cam recommend me your videos just proves that your phone is always listening
same I'm planning on getting a tattoo on my birthday and I'm getting recommended tattoo-related videos lol.
Welcome to 2022. Glad you caught up on the last 10+ years.
It's not listening you have clearly googled tattoo designs or something at some point and Google has picked up on that lol
@@XilentDesign bro look it up it’s been proven to take what you say and put videos that it thinks that you want to watch. Same for Facebook and a lot of other apps
They can see what you watch when you watch how long you watch things they ain’t playing around
Thanks for all the tips. Long time lurker but getting my 1st tattoo in 1 hour and just wanted to say thanks for preparing me for it. Keep up the great work!
I'm currently in the healing process as we speak. This video could not have come in a better time. Thanks for making my healing process smoother bro. Great vid!
My tattoo artist used second skin for my last tattoo, and it was the best healing process I have had. It protects against germs, clothing, scratching, picking, etc. I left on for a week, then used to usual washing and moisturizing routine.
Did it heal way better than before?
@@Simplicity1207 yes, it healed much easier, and I believe faster.
@@Simplicity1207my first tattoo I had second skin and was told 1week then remove wash carefully dry and moisturize. Tbh I only washed and used moisturizing scent less aveeno body wash with colloidal oatmeal a few times a day and it peeled a little after the removal but overall healed amazing and wasn't a pain. I just got a full calf piece recently, ankle to the ditch of the knee and wrapping around the sides of the calf and we used Sarin wrap and the healing process has been a pain in the butt so far no lies. But I wasn't fully prepared either, you have to be so much more careful and take care of it non stop but with saniderm the dude who did my first tattoo said it accelerates the healing process by trapping the plasma (the good healing stuff) in there while it dries up through the second skin then to leave it for a while while the skin heals by the time you take it off after a week it's basically well started the healing process and I wished I'd used saniderm on my full calve piece. Alot of the second skins are waterproof too so you don't need to worry about over washing/soaking during the intiatial healing stages while you shower
Same..definitely fast tracked the healing process after left on for 4 days then started the aftercare
I got a new tattoo 8 days ago. The tattoo artist put a second skin product on. I wore it for 4 days and then started your healing process, including Aquaphor and Lubriderm. Tattoo is healing perfectly, hasn't even peeled yet and doesn't look like it's going to.
The tattoos i’ve healed with saniderm haven’t peeled! It’s one of my favorite parts about it
I’d love to use sandier/second skin etc… but I have an allergy to the adhesive… it leaves horrible swelling and redness wherever it makes contact with my skin if left on for more than about 8 hours
@@ParasitikOneme too 😢 I didn’t know and now the healing is taking longer, my tattoo a small part might need touch up! I’m worried
@@ParasitikOneI noticed this to ! The saniderm even made like these little tiny red pimples pop up around the outline of where the saniderm was
Just got my first tattoo about 3 weeks ago. Now I have multiple tattoos that I’ve gotten since then lol, I guess you could say I’ve gotten addicted. Thanks for the advice
Just got my first 2 tattoos last night. Your videos helped a lot on my first day 0. :)
I just got my hand and fingers tattoos yesterday and your channel pop up like heaven ☺️ i love u bro 🌹
You make a lot of good points. After getting 78 tattoos to date, I can say that I what works best for me. In all that time I only had 3 minor tattoo infections, one being from doing sweaty yard work the day after I was tattooed. I've tried all sorts of products and have gotten all sorts of advice. If people go to a variety of artists they can try the aftercare each one suggests. My tattoos heal at the skins surface in an average of 2-3 weeks. A lot of that has to with location and irritation from clothes rubbing. For me personally, Saniderm, if properly applied, my tattoos usually heal in about 1/2 the time that they would using the "old fashioned" methods. But that's me--after they've had tattoos by a good number of artists and try their aftercare--eventually people should be able to decide what method works effectively for them.
Thank you for sharing your valuable insight Thomas!
I removed my saniderm 6 days after getting a shark jaw on my entire side , it looks pretty healed I'm on day 10. BUT this is my first tattoo any advice on when it will be safe to go to pool or beach ? I don't wanna screw it up any advice is greatly appreciated
@@user-mc6df1ep3c I'd all your tattooer. With me two weeks was the minimum I could go after getting a new tattoo but I didn't stay in the water very long. They did fine, but I did nice that that skin looked different after I got out of the pool--so I definitely wouldn't overdo it. Your skin can be different.
good work as always mike❤
Getting my first full sleeve started in April so these tips will help a lot thank you!
@@krukru9783 ended up having o push it back a month so actually have my first session in about a week on the 31st
Always great to see a new video from you dude!
Dude you made my day! Thank you so Much for the support!
Your videos have been lifesavers man since i just got my first tattoo. Appreciate all the informative content! Any question i had has been answered.
Everybody heals different. I'm sleeved and tattooed. Always had a tough time healing so I used saniderm on my last sleeve and it was amazing. Peeled it off after 72 hours. No scabbing, leaking, nothing.
I have 2 tattoos, left wrap on for 2 hours, took off, washed with lukewarm water and creamy wash, rinsed with cold water, dried, applied Bepathan, did this for 2 weeks. Now wash in the morning with lukewarm water and creamy wash, apply tattoo cream. No flaking, mild itching during healing process and now colour pops 😁
Richie Bulldog works best for me. Agree with your hacks. I have used all of them and they do work quickly. Less is more ! Great videos
Very informative, Mike! I have a lot of tattoos and I'm try to take good care of my tattoo because its expensive so maybe if I have a new one, I'll try my best to take care of it with this 🙃
That’s that ticket 🎫
I LOVE especially the healing process. Sooo satisfying 🤤🤤🤤
Geeze I hate the healing process😂 it sucks to be honest lol.
Thank you so much for your information
Quick warm shower (not hot), stay hydrated, don’t pick at it, and take a break from the gym. Got it! Thanks! 😎👍
Going through the healing of my first now, it's been going smooth, in the scaling stage right now but yeah, trying to eat well and drink water, sleeping on a clean towel and not using aftercare products. Using open air to help heal.
Listen to your artist!!! Can't stress that enough! My new tattoo is the entire length of my forearm. Got the new ink 9 days ago. Left the initial "second-skin" on for four days. VERY little plasma and ink seeping. Have washed the tattoo with gold Dial soap 4 times daily. After dry, dabbed Lubriderm on 6-7 times daily. Barely flaked at all. No scabbing or anything. Tattoo is bold and vibrant. Surface barely feels raised anymore. My artist has ten years experience. Listen to your artist! You'll be glad you did! Thanks for the great video, as always!
Thanks for sharing! What you said is 💯 right!
I completely agree. The one tattoo that I didn't use a Second Skin (or Tegaderm, Saniderm) took the longest to heal and was the most unpleasant to heal as well. Since that tattoo, I've always used one of the above mentioned products and have had great success with healing. I like that I don't get scabbed and there is no peeling or itching. When I first started going to my artist, he recommended against using wraps. After seeing how well and how quickly my tats have healed, he said that I should keep doing what I do because my results were so good. I tend to change my wrap every couple of days for about a week, but it depends on placement as well. My spine tattoo barely seeped any blood or plasma so I left the wrap on for days, while the inside of my bicep needed more frequent changes. Also, I've been doing some reading and it looks like doctors are trying to debunk the myth that wounds should be uncovered to dry and need air. Most of what I've read says that wounds heal better with moisture. JMHO based on my own experiences.
@@michelleh2603 I fully agree with most of your comment. Listen to the artist. They do this for a living. Most "second-skin" bandages do provide air. They have tiny holes in them, to allow the tattoo to breathe. Moisturizing is instrumental in the healing of your tattoo. Once that wrap comes off, I can't stress enough how important moisturizing becomes. Put a thin layer of moisturizer on that bad boy a few times a day, for at least a couple weeks. After that I'd moisturize morning and night, whenever you brush your teeth. "Dry healing" does get some love on TH-cam, but I personally wouldn't recommend it. Moisturizing helps the skin heal faster. Also, and most importantly, don't over-moisturize your tattoo! Only use a thin layer. Just dab on a couple spots and gently rub it in. Thin layers! Too much moisturizer can smother your tattoo, which can produce some bad results. Thanks for the reply!
washed 4x??? as well as 6-7 times lubriderm??? that’s A LOT.. but hey, whatever works.. i do feel like lubriderm doesn’t last that long
@@scubaowen226 I live with pets. Washing 4X in a day wasn't that much. And moisturizing can't be stressed enough. I barely had a single flake. And I had ZERO scabbing. Again, my new tattoo was the entire length of my forearm. ZERO scabbing. Was it a lot of washing and moisturizing? Yes it was. Did it pay off? You bet. My tattoo is bold and vibrant, and I couldn't be happier. Could I have gotten by with less washing and moisturizing? Probably. But I'd much rather be safe, than sorry. I urge everyone to follow their artist's advice. I'm not knocking anyone's decisions. This is just what worked best for me. Best of luck to everyone.
Tips for a chest tattoo?
I am getting a cover up and ugh I forget how tough it is on the chest.
With washing what soap product do you use?
How often should balm/ cream/ A & D be applied per day?
Also I also didn't catch ya say this, but a good tip with summer approaching avoid direct sunlight!!
Love the videos thank you!!
Thank you so much dude.
I took the sandiderm off after a day, I've been keeping a steady routine and it's looking nice. He told me to leave it 6 days I hope this doesn't hinder me in the long run
I got my first tattoo yesterday and I really wanna heal is ASAP so thanks for this !
Hey congrats on the new tattoo! I found a even better way of healing tattoos! Check it out here! Your tattoo will be healed up in 5 days th-cam.com/video/FNpJ1N0zmKw/w-d-xo.html
I found to combat the itching just get a tiny bit of whatever moisturiser you're using, rub it between your fingers so you get a film on them and just use the fingertips to pat it very lightly. Don't slap it lol
I have saniderm on my chest piece. My artist says to leave it on for 7 days. I have done this every time and it has always healed very well within 2 weeks I’m ready to go in for another coat. I skip that annoying itchy peeling process.
im getting my tattoo friday i needed this video
Thank you for watching!
I am getting my first tattoo this Thursday. Wooder 😎 Yo Adrian I did it! Philly boy here 🙌
I got my tattoo 3 days ago and went to the gym today 😬 shoulda watched this before goinng lol
I been messing up by putting way too much Aquaphor. My tattoos thankfully look good though. Thanks for the tips!
Yep! That can really slow down the process lol. In this video right here I talk more about this topic if you want to check it out. th-cam.com/video/_tl6ar_E6uE/w-d-xo.html
I brought up the workout to my tattooist and he laughed and said it’s not true,regardless it makes sense why you wouldn’t as soon as you mentioned about the sweat. Thanks for all the advice
u can stretch ur skin while working out. it definitely has cons
Hi bro. Loved your tattoo, especially the color work. I am an animal tattoo lover and expect a video that includes only animal tattoos. The most popular animal tattooing included all the meaning.
Aquaphor for the 1st week then palmers cocoa butter for the next couple days after and its been working perfect for me but everyones skin is different. Not overly thick, just a thin layer and reapply when its dries up again
Palmers works amazing for me as well and smells great too 👌
Yeah same.... a thin layer of cocoa butter for me! Best healing I've tried. Sometimes I will attempt a different method of the artist recommends it but end up just going back to cocoa butter.
I got my 1st tat today. 3/4 sleeve, i seen a few artist saying to put cream right sway after cleaning and drying others after a few days
Everyone has different tattoo healing methods lol I have my own that works really well. But I always recommend listening to your artist on their methods
( diet-High protine and collagen protine with peptides helps) Clean and moisturize with a balm. 3-4 times a day. Allow about 10 min. To dry, then Rub your balm on, completely cover it and patt off any excess balm with clean paper towels. Repeat as needed throughout the day. Also, something I like doing the first day of your fresh tattoo, is to keep it cool with an ice pack to reduce redness and swelling. This is particularly good for large tattoos. Just make sure it's not direct on the ice pack. Wrap ice pack with a clean white tee shirt or paper towel and put on the tattoo to alleviate some pain.
Woah! Very insightful stuff Ryan! Thank you so
Much for sharing
@@EvolveINK I have fair amount of my body covered. Actually working on a full traditional Japanese suit. I have never gotten an infection and all my ink is insanely bright and saturated. My artist doesn't even tell me any care instructions because he said whatever I do works well and I seem to heal rather quickly. Lol. One other thing I like to take is men's multivitamins, (emergen-C immune) added to my water.
The way you say a little bit of pain is funny😂
So what cleansing wash/ soap do I need to use when I shower to clean my tattoo? I'm getting one soon, and the name would be great! I take showers every day, and it's hard for me to go without one, especially when my job gets me dirty/ sweaty. (I'm a welding instructor.) I'm getting one on my outer forearm, and I saw a video of you talking about wearing loose clothes. My welding jacket is loose, and the only time I really wear it is when I run demos for my students.
Another thing to add to the hot water thing. After the 1st wash do your last rinse with cold water to close up those pores and really lock that ink in (plus it feels really good when your still in that phase where it kind of feels like a burn and your skin is all hot
Lol agreed 💯
He literally said that word for word...
tattoo ink is deeper than ur pores. it wouldnt matter
tattoo ink is deeper than ur pores. it wouldnt matter
Getting my armpits done tomorrow. Dreading the healing. I perspire quite a bit so should be a fun experience.
How is this going for u?
@@ashavari it was surprisingly easy. Not nearly as painful as you'd think. Healing was very easy.
I had a friend that tatooed her armpits, she said, it made her perspire alot more than before
excellent tips! very sensible. my big challenge is always the itching phase and not picking on the scabs & flakes 😁
I've been scheduled an MRI soon after I'm getting some new ink... is this ok or will it affect the healing process of my tattoo?
Me personally I use recovery dermshield. And with my job building semi trucks it's great for that first week. But this last time part of my tattoo right on The inner ditch got slightly irritated took off the dermshield and it was fine after a few days. All in all I like using it.
I been hearing some really good thing of dernshield. I have to look into it
I prefer it over the saniderm just because it's way less adhesive to your skin so removing it doesn't suck as much. Also it's not as stiff as saniderm.
Thank you for the great tip videos! I’ll update y’all to my process ima be taking and come back and add.
I got my tattoo yesterday. I took off the plastic wrap after 2 hours, then did a light wash with water and soap. No after product. Right now I’m going to give it another light wash, and then put some aquaphor. Then I’m going to put a saniderm on it, and depending on if I see build up or not, I’ll remove it after a few days or 24 hours. Wish me luck!
good luck! thank you so much for watching! i actually did do a newly updated tattoo healing video recently. it heals up tattoos super fast AND take a lot of a hassle out of healing them. check out the video here! th-cam.com/video/FNpJ1N0zmKw/w-d-xo.html
Don’t forget the sun! Great video brother!
Never forget the sun😂 thank you so much! I talked about the sun damaging tattoos in my recent video! Check it out th-cam.com/video/5udUFpZzUiI/w-d-xo.html
Great tips! I’m on day 5 off the healing process. Everything is going great. My concern is that I work out in the sun weekends ( I wear a long sleeve) but I am still concerned about the sun damaging or fading the art. Any recommendations?
Loose fitting white long sleeves?
Wear those portable sleeves with spf 50 that cyclist wear while their biking
The thing about seniderm if you leave it on too long you will take it off and accidentally pull the scabs. We scab at different rates and some of us will scan early at day 4 or even day 7. I did this and my first tatooo looks great but there are areas that are missing color. Not noticeable but still…..
It’s funny you mentioned this. I just recently made a video all about saniderm and I spoke on what you said lol th-cam.com/video/3zqTc7XRMzo/w-d-xo.html check it out
Already late stage flacking phase and I’m at day 6, hydration, moisturizing, airing out tattoo are key, don’t over wash (3x a day at most) this is my experience
This is bullshit, just use Saniderm
@@faaltov Its not bullshit if you're not using a tattoo film though lol
Hey Mike! Much love from Australia. Just got an Exodia YUGIOH piece, loving it!
Exactly! Worst part is just not being able to shower normally!
I got a coverup on my wrist couple days ago. Working on healing
I just got 4 tattoos with in the past two weeks and my first two healed fine with dial and aquaphor doing these two that I just got on Friday the 13th so I’ve been doing well with for a first time but great video 😊
Thank you so much! Have you tried out saniderm yet to heal a tattoo?
@@EvolveINK no only aquaphor but I should try the one you recommended where can you find it at?
i use nivea care for the skin, would you suggest that?
I got my tattoo last sunday. It is peeling now and my ointment is almost gone. Any alternative recommendations for ointments?
Hey bro im getting a tattoo while in Thailand and its pretty hot and suuny, should i wear an arm sleeve or something after getting the tat since ill still be there on vacation or what do you recommend ?
Just got one done with bandage first night then shower and wash and applied second skin for five days
Just got my tattoo first one ever tattoo artist said to keep tape on for 7 days then after the 7th day mark to wash it after taking it off then after that I’m good to go
I got my third tattoo today and TH-cam recommended this to me🤭
I'm getting mine in 2 weeks. Could be 2-3 inches and on my shoulder. I'm prepared for the pain, I'll just need to go to Boots with my mother to find the best ointments to apply after it's finished.
Just got a sleeve done and I work in the trades and still do my job and go to the gym and it doesn't bother it at all
Hey man, just found your channel and wanted to ask for your advice. I'm under 18 and I've wanted this particular tattoo for a year now. It's my family crest from Ireland and I've always thought it was cool. I'm just worried that in the future I won't like it or think it's dumb. Any advice?
Hey! Welcome! I would
Honestly say that with a family crest, that is something that I feel you will
Never regret. It represents your family and yourself. I think it’s pretty cool🤙🏻
I've been doing tattoos for 3 years now and whenever I'd get a new piece I'll drink a lil 30G protein shake. I prefer the muscle milk pro drink 1 a day for the 1st 3 to 4 days after getting a new tattoo it does wonders. For me anyway can have a new tattoo almost completely healed in a week.
🤣🤣😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
@@heavyhitta52 Science my guy you boost your immune system and actually sleep good you set. Nighas who eat shit foods aren't Hydrated and don't sleep proper will have a tattoo taking forever to heal..
Or collagen protein... I took this the last time and I healed up in a week.
After 7hrs getting the i fell asleep with the wrap on and it looked pruny and faded after i woke up. Is it screwed
Hey dude ,how would you heal a blackout tattoo ??
Any experience about it?
The very first tip I heard was in accurate. I heard it was better and more vibrant for your tattoo to leave the wrap on overnight
Everyone believes in different things when it comes to aftercare 🤙🏻
I’m on day 4 of my tattoo and am already going through the peeling stage and I’m just not sure if it’s going too fast or what
Went thru the chapters and it’s literally what I do every time lol
You’re one step ahead of the game then 😏😂
After Inked. Best after care lotion. 🙌
Have a question, currently have a tattoo on my forearm got it April 13th, almost everything has finished peeling for the first time, but now noticing that due to the scabbing, now seems like a lot of ingrown hair because of the scabbing, a lot of little red dots irritated which add to the itchiness, but of course havent scratched nor would i want to, any recommendations as far as red dots, in case they are ingrown hair? Or at this point since it’s still healing and all that there is nothing that can be done?
For anyone that isn't allergic to adhesive, saniderm is the way to go. The longer you live it on the better (5 day max). Tattoos that had saniderm on for 3 days for me only peeled a little while tattoos that healed with saniderm for 5 days had little to no peeling.
Yessss! I totally turned over to the saniderm train. I switched some things up but saniderm is awesome. I made a video on it! Check it out! th-cam.com/video/30eKm0pbrZY/w-d-xo.html
@@EvolveINK Haha I remember you had a video against it back then. Its good that you jumped on the train. Saniderm is the best thing to happen in the tattoo world as long as you are not allergic to it.
Just got my first one the other day and it’s already kinda annoying lol. It’s pretty small so I can’t imagine how annoying a big tattoo would be
Big tattoos are sooooo annoying lol
Hello thanks for the video. After 2 weeks of using lotion on my new tattoo, I stopped applying it and after 2 days i got itchy bumps all over my tattoo.. hydrocortisone didnt work, but when i started re applying lotion "bepanthen", it seems like it starts to get better. Really would appreciate your help
For me is simple, soon as i get home i normally take a nice shower and i put a very thin layer of Aquaphor and done. Thats all i use for years.
I removed the seniderm after 24 hours I did not know I was allergic to adhesive. It has become red and a small part of tattoo looks cloudy. I showed it to the tattoo artist a week later since I did not know if that was normal or it looked like that because of the cream but he said that now we have to wait until it fully heals and might need retouching! It’s such a beautiful tattoo, I hope I heal properly I’m worried.
Your artist is right. Before touch ups, the tattoo needs to heal. Saniderm doesn’t work for everyone. Some people are allergic to the adhesive and others might can get an allergic reaction to the green soap the artist uses. That green soap can get trapped under the saniderm and cause problems lol
Got a big leg piece a couple days before Xmas- my artist told me to keep the 2nd skin for 4 days - tattoo barely scabbed and basically was healed when I washed it off. Had more irritation from the wrap than anything. Ha!
Also was a 7hr session. 🥴
So we should use some ointment or not
Who else took a gulp of water when he said you need to hydrate in order to heal faster
😂😂😂 hey, at least your Are acting on the tips and taking action 🐺🤙🏻
Any recommendations on what lubricants I should use? I was told Aquaphor spray is amazing, but I’m new to this so I’m not sure which I should use.
I use the unscented luberderm . It’s the blue bottle 🤙🏻🐺
@@EvolveINK thanks!
They use 2nd skin now. It's a waterproof, breathable plastic that allows air in but not the larger water molecules. It's really nice
I got my tat on the 13th jan, when can I go swimming again and apply sun screen without covering In a . Hood all the time ?
general rule of thumb is 2 weeks, just be cautious with the sun in general!
As soon as I get out of the door i took the wrap out, i only rinse water , antibacterial soap, little to none cream, bounty paper towels three times a day gently and my tattoos look like day one on day 7 never even shed or anything. So either my skin is a miracle healer or ppl over protect their tatts and mess them up.
I like the healing part 😌
How do you typically heal you tattoos? I personally think the healing part sucks lol
Wash and husslebutter
Is saniderms "sanibalm" any good ?
Hi i got a new tattoo and the artist said who remove the bandage after a day i did but at aome place of a tattoo still have bandage on it and i can't remove it without not being gentle so i just leave it and after washing and routine care still have this shit on my hand and i started to get worried cuse like the ink who flow its not look good
What should I do?
Just doing the normal routine care??
Day 2 btw
Im pretty tattooed and id take one day off then do lower body if the tattoo was up top and upper body if it was a leg tattoo, never had issues.
I keep it wrapped in saran wrap for about 12 hours minimum, rinse with just water or light soap (Dr Bronners) for 3-7 days, and no aftercare products except a tiny bit of coconut oil if the soap has dried it up too much. I have a shoulder piece, one and one half sleeve, chest piece, and a few more on my thighs and ankles. Only minor infection I had was one little blackout piece that the artist was a little too rough with. You don't need anything special. Light soap if you think its dirty or had a good amount of sweat and then maybe some coconut oil if it dries up and gets all flaky. I have maybe one to two days where the extra ink comes off (within three days and before using soap) and I am good. I do not think you need all these fancy chemicals and I prefer not to put anything that is not natural on my skin.
I will admit my sleeve and chest piece are not too extensive, so your experience may be different.
Just did my elbow last night so let’s see if any of this actually helps
I got a new tattoo on Wednesday, my tattoo artist told me to take it off Friday (today) in the shower, but my bf who has a lot of tattoos told me to leave it on as long as possible, I don't know what to do. any advise on who to listen to? My second skin is peeling a lot already.
Everyone has their own way of healing their tattoos, however I always recommend listening to your artist and follow their instructions
Maybe a dumb question but, how do you go about moisturising your tattoo when its super scabby/crusty wouldn't rubbing moisturiser into it pull off some skin/ cause irritation?
My tat is super scabbed, I'm on day 9, started about 4 days ago. It's a tat on my back so my husband's cleaning and caring for it. I can tell he wants to take off the scabs but I'm letting them just fall off to not pull ink. The key when it's flaky and scabby is to pat it with lotion until absorbed. No rubbing just pat pat pat.
@@dianebransford tysm :) makes sense!
I work at a fast food currently and recently got my upper right arm done (at least the outlining of it). And it’s going a bit over my elbow and a lot of bending and picking up stuff heavy or not. How do I go about not over stretching it?
The best advice is to just be mindful of the area. I know it sounds simple but when you are mindful of the tattooed area you won’t be moving and stretching so much. For future tattoos, I’d recommend doing this way of tattoo healing. To be honest I think it’s the best way to heal tattoos. th-cam.com/video/FNpJ1N0zmKw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=7MDlVoAGJiDTCLTI
@@EvolveINK I did watch that video several times lol, so I know how to properly clean it and how to remove the saniderm or second skin. Btw love your anime
sleeve!!
I’m getting a tattoo in a few weeks, how do I go about sweating when I work a blue collar job? Do I just clean it more often?
Well no, I would recommend still washing it 3 times a day. The way I actually heal all my tattoos is using this method here th-cam.com/video/FNpJ1N0zmKw/w-d-xo.html I think it will be the best way to heal your tattoo based on your job.
I'm 17 and in two weeks I'm going to get 1 tattoo, take care of it and keep it. Wish me luck that everything goes well.
Good luck! Make sure you do your research on how to get and properly take care of tattoos. You’ll find everything you need on here lol
@EvolveINK Thank you so much, men.

It’s typically is a lot of work, but I have perfected the healing process to not only make your tattoo heal a perfectly, but also having a hassle free! Check out the video here! th-cam.com/video/FNpJ1N0zmKw/w-d-xo.html

Another hack is to use an icepack wrapped in a cloth to cool the area so it decreases blood flow & brings the swelling and inflammation down acting as a sort of jumpstart in the healing process, also alleviates pain and itchy skin:)
I’m using Hustle Butter now 4 days.. should I continue or move to a Lubriderm ? Please advise
Hustle butter is a great product. But I would switch to lubriderm. Should be good!
Also may I add that my artist said by law in Ohio,not sure anywhere else,but he said they have to cover them when customers leave the building,then as soon as they’re outside,take the bandage off,I’ve never had any problems
Can you name a few of the tattoo aftercare products that you believe actually work? I bought 2 different ones and I just want to make sure these are best.
@@laurenpineda7791 IMO aqua phor is the best product to use,some may disagree but mine start to heal in 5 days
