It's become kind of a tradition for me to watch this video every time I get a tattoo. By now I basically know it by heart and have my own healing process down but I still religiously watch it, it's just become part of the process
Literally same. Was just tattooed today and BACK AT THIS AGAIN!
Same
Literally me LOL
sAME
just use saniderm, this is too long
you can put your lotion in the fridge and it is great for itchyness xxx
For now, just put it in the basket =)
Randall Flagg hahaha
Cool recommendation. Thanks!
Have you heard of saniderm aftercare bandages? It's a clear plastic film that is waterproof but still breathable unlike the plastic wrap. Makes the healing process much simpler, with the best quality results. I think you'd love it.
I've tried them. Pretty good
That's what I got for my first and only tattoo so far. It was simple and clean and reduced my healing process to almost nothing. So I'm going to stick with it for the rest of mine! I was lucky enough that my artist gave it to me otherwise I wouldn't have known about it
Dustin Hill I leave mine on for like 5 days, peel it off and it’s mostly healed, still flaky but no babying it.
Yeah, but for one of mine (a leg sleeve with heavy shading) I couldn't keep one of those on because I was bleeding on off.
I had that and took it off my tattoo was bleeding Wich is normal but it just collects the blood and gives it a pouch to sit in and eventually it leaked out and it didn’t dry until I took it off
This girl is absolutely adorable. Super informative as well, her tattoos are a testament to her healing regimen. Thank you for the information!
I used to use lotion, but my artist recommended aquaphor... Best healing aid I've used. No scabbing for me, hardly any flaking. Great video. I am going to try your wrapping method.
_wildcosmia_ aquaphor tests on animals and she’s vegan
Don't
Aquaphor is Petroleum based and technically shouldn’t be used on tattoos as it clogs your pores and leaves no way for your tattoo to breathe and often can pull the ink out of your tattoo but everyone is different. I’m glad it worked for you though!
yo same i don’t scab up and hardly any peeling they stay as fresh as when i got them!
Great tips! It's so interesting because I've always been told to never re-wrap my tattoos and to just clean them and then let them air dry. But yours look so great and you re-wrap them for 3 days. I think it's very interesting what different people/tattoo artists will recommend!
When I got my back piece done I didn't wrap it and my shirt literally adhered to it while I slept. I had to soak it off. Literally the most painful thing ever.
Abby Pitner did that damage the tattoo?
Same and I pulled off a fresh scab and now I have a holiday that needs to filled in
I’ve watched your old tattoo videos for years. I’ve seen this one so many times lol just thought I’d let you know how much I love your stuff. It’s so calming to listen to your old TTT videos🖤
i have always been told to not re wrap it.
Yes it's best to let as much air as possible to your new tattoo.
soddiepop I usually get a clean t shirt and lightly wrap in in that while Sleep for the first two nights.
You need to protect the skin from scraping/bacteria ecc ecc. It's way better to "not let it breathe" than to expose it
Mine wasnt wrapped at all....🤔
@@ca.r1334 it's very different from person to person and artist to artist. My artist said it's better to wrap it the first 5 days while at work since I shouldn't scrap it or something like that. And some people just keep it wrapped the first hours.
I just wanted to let you know that I have used this routine for my traditional sleeve, and I have been getting so many compliments about how well they have healed and how bright they are. Just wanted you to know :)
OMG!! I had another TH-cam account, and it was hacked and I've been trying to find you for like a year
This is the first tattoo care Video I checked out three years ago and the best.
Oh my word, your sleeve is GORGEOUS!
I have watched this video so many times always saying to myself that when i get a tattoo i will use this.. I finally built up the courage to get one and this method worked perfectly! My tattoo is healing perfectly! Thank you Qcknd!!
i did rewrap my tattoo for the first two nights I'm glad i did because the stuff leaving my body wouldve been on my sheets otherwise and it would be really irritated
Me: hey qcknd what's the best way to heal my tattoo?
Qcknd: *give it a good smack*
pretty much every single comment is about peoples experiences with tattoos and I'm here just like.... ive been watching her videos all day and I don't even want a tattoo
Yay for this video! I was tattooed yesterday too! The Qcknd healing help came in just at the right time :)
Love this video! Just got my first tattoo, and I really love your method on healing
I'm watching the whole Public Record and Tatto Talk Tuesday Archive and it's being really helpful for me because I'm about to get my second tattoo, it's going to be big and the first one since I'm vegan. Can't wait to have it done! Thanks for all the advices and useful information you share. :)
I've been loving your videos and loving how often you upload, btw :)
Your tattoos are absolutely stunning from what I can see!!
I dreamt of this tattoo for more than 15 years. Finally got it, or at least the first half. It’s large and has a ton of color. My artist is a master. He tells me I can wrap it before I sleep up to five nights. It’s amazing and I will take all precautions to keep it perfect.
this might sound strange, but your bathroom makes me nostalgic for my childhood and visiting my grandparents in america (but in a good way)
anyways though, your leg tattoos are gorgeous and this video is great and i will definitely use these tips! :)
your tattoos are flawless!! man I barley got my first tattoo and for sure my second tattoo I'm doing it your method loved the video and subscribed!
Thank you, just got my first tattoo yesterday, 😻🥰 super excited
I have mild eczema, so I have to be really careful with my skin getting dry or oils getting trapped and that would usually be a problem when getting tattoos because stuff is getting lodged into your skin. Eczema doesn't stop me though, and I have had very considerate and kind tattoo artist help me with finding a good healing process for me.
I have 4 pieces, one I just got another the other day. My processes is basically cleaning it twice a day, morning and night. During the morning cleaning, starting after the first day, I add a little bit of Lubriderm lotion. On the forth day, I beginning only washing it in the morning and add lotion twice a day. Once it starts to get scabby, I add lotion when it bothers me. Also, when it itches I add lotion as well. Keeping it moisturized with a water based lotion helps from an eczema outbreak and helps the tattoo from scarring because an outbreak.
OH! Also, I make sure I wash my hands before every lotion application to insure no infection.
+Ashley Leezer Thanks for sharing, I have sensitive skin and eczema so I'm gonna have to pick up some lubriderm lotion
Yo thank you so much you were so straight forward your really good at explaining and giving the best information the quickest way
Thank you for making these videos! I'm excited to get my first tattoo soon :)
It’s feb 2018 and I’m coming back to this because I’m getting a tattoo tomorrow and next Saturday!!
bri2uty I'm doing the same, too! Getting my first tattoo on the 9th of May 😅
Just did one and do i wrap during days or she meant knly nights
Heh, my first was Feb 1st. Would have been my birthday on the 3rd, except the artist was booked then.
september 2020
I'm working on my 6th tattoo right now, it's my second really large piece, but it's also the second piece that's scarred in the tattoo. I've always been told to never rewrap my tattoos, but I know a lot of people swear by the method, so I think I'm gonna try it for my next piece or two in the next few months. I love tattoos so I'm really glad I found your channel!
I am a picker and a scratcher and when I tell you when I got my first one, I had so much self control with the itching because I didn’t want to ruin my tattoo so i was pleasantly surprised but like i said, i didn’t want to ruin it. Healing was worst part for me compared to actually getting the piece on my side/ribs. I patted the crap out of my side though lol. I used aquaphor the first weekish and than once healed some more after that I used Cerve body/face lotion.
Also helps to have friends who have a lot of tattoos to get advice from! Big help!
i have the same routine!!! same brands and everything. also my first tattoo is a floral rib piece on my left side haha i had to double take when reading this.
How interesting! I have a few tattoos but I have never re taped my tattoo once I've washed it at home. Thanks so much for the advice 💕
I commented a while back and I just got my first two tattoos today, my tattoo artist told me to use coconut oil in the healing process. It is natural and just a little bit of it goes a long way. He said not anti bacterial soap but what I'm doing is diluting the soap with water when using it. Thank you so much for this video! Very helpful
hi, did you use the coconut oil as a substitution for the cream or lotion?
@@Imwinnnie You can use organic cold pressed virgin coconut oil as a sub for lotion. That's what my tattoo artist recommends. It's worked for me beautifully!
Thanks for the tips!! My tattoo healed beautifully and its been my least itchy experience💖
Your videos are great, thank you! This is so useful to me as I plan to get my first tattoo in February ^-^
Of course everyone has different experiences but I never re wrap tattoos and what I have has healed amazingly, I just wash and moisturize them religiously. I poke fresh tattoos when they're itchy 😂 your tattoos are lovely!
My bandage comes off a few hours after I get the tattoo, I wash it when I shower and then use coconut oil on it for moisture. Not lotions.
+Joanna Dyndor (Dyndorian) I use aquaphor, but I'm sure coconut oil works amazingly! It probably smells good too.
Honestly this was so helpful
I'm about to get my forearm tattooed (half sleeve) and I'm going to try this method to heal it😁
I rewatch this every single time I get tattooed
Thanks this is so helpful ! I'm getting my first tattoo next week :)
I now SWEAR BY Dream Cream by Lush! OMG! Got my second tattoo two weeks ago and it was pretty much healed in just over one week!
hustle butter and aveeno unscented lotion are really helpful!
i wish i knew these tips before i got my first tattoo 2 years ago. my artist told me that i should immediately apply some kind of weird-ass cream over it and dont let it rest. i don't know how but cream made almost whole ink to come out and finally my tattoo ended up being light grey instead of solid black. Now as i am going to get inked again after past failure i will use these tips :D thank you a lot for sharing your experience and knowledge!
thanks for this, in a few years I hope to get two black X's on my hands and this information will be put to use!
My tattoo healing process is very similar to yours, except I don't use any paper towels and just wrap it for the first 2-3 nights (depending on how much the tattoo is oozing on the second day). After that, I just leave it to breathe and apply either Bepathen or natural lotions every time my tattoo feels tight and dry, washing accordingly when needed with cold/lukewarm water. During the itchy process, I just do my very best to ignore any itchiness and just rub lotion whenever possible. Thanks for the video!
"stay out of stress"
me, with anxiety; fuck
My artist told me to put a THIN amount aquifer to when I wrap it and to NOT put a paper towel bc that will dry it out and make scabs. I wrap it at night for like a week. Also use antibacterial soap the kind that it foamy pump is the best. Keep using Aquifer for the lotion. I have colored and black and gray lotions and they are really bright.
Lotion? I meant tattoos at the end there lol
omg love it! gia rose is my tattoo artist! ceremony tattoo is the best place, that's amazing and a small world
+1987DaniMac it's such a cute little set up! Wish my livingroom looked like that place
me too! they are such great ppl there
+1987DaniMac did you just reply to your own comment?
um no Qcknd replied to my first comment so i just commented back to her?
this is so helpful and informative, you are amazing. :)
The only things my artist told me to do was keep it clean and put coconut oil on it. I absolutely loved using just coconut oil. I only used food grade coconut oil because I felt like that was the most pure. Now, my watercolor tattoo is nice and vibrant!
Brooke Watson I used coconut oil for my first tattoo and it’s incredibly patchy and a lot of the ink came out during the healing process.
I love coconut oil for everything but tattoos.
Thanks , Actually I was thinking about using coconut oil on my next tattoo…
@@Crazygaucho62 It's wonderful. I've gotten more tattoos since that comment and I've used coconut oil for all of them. I just melt it and dab a light layer on. That way, the skin can soak it up without becoming suffocated and you don't have to worry about disturbing the skin from rubbing it in.
I use coconut oil it works very well plus has natural antibacterial properties never had a problem with it and I only get black ink no color I like the old fashioned look. or some people call jail house work I'm also type 2 diabetes but I try very hard to take care of my self and tattoos.
I used that too along with Hempz lotion, she and I use the same soap but she dilute hers down way to much I'm guessing she has sensitive skin. As I've commented on her other video each person has different healing genes in them
Thanks for these videos! Very informative :)
Awesome tips :) Just wanted to add that my tattoo artist recommended a dryer approach, less cream/lotion like when it flakes and stuff. Just washing it now and then but not applying cream often. And I think she's right because I did use too much cream once (non fragrance, natural) and blurred out a lot of my tattoo lines on one tattoo of mine. Maybe I did use it too soon though. But yeah dryer healing has been working very very well on my tattoos since I was given that advice
I thought so too! But it was weird because it only blurred after the first day, once I started healing it... the first day the lines were crisp and thin... is that normal? I had a hard time understanding why it happened how it did, and none of my other tattoos acted that way so I'm confused xD Thanks though, it probably is because of what you said
I stay 2/3 hours with the bandages after getting my tattoo then I clean it with neutral glycerin soap and let it air dry. After it's dry I put on some dermaglos water based cream every 4 to 5 hours after clearing the area first.
I'm getting a leg tattoo and I'm concerned about shaving for the first week or two, what would you recommend?
I recently found the perfect tattoo studio for me and it's even in a city near me! I might get my first tattoo soon, even though it's a wanna do by the artist and I never thought I might get one, but it seems like she made it with me in her mind
Thanks for the video, helps me alot with my new tattoo
your tattoos are so gorgeous!
Nice video ^^
I just got a brand new gorgeous tattoo. The way I heal it is I leave the saran wrap on it for 5 hours after getting it done. Then I remove the saran wrap, hop into the shower and rinse it with cool water after gently lathering it up with feminine intimate wash (it is completely neutral). After the shower I let it air dry for a couple of hours before applying a thin layer of tattoo cream on it. I wouldn't wrap it up at night, unless it was absolutely necessary. The tattoo needs to breath. :)
I had my first tattoo done yesterday (so i have no clue) my tattoo artist told me to keep the 2ndskin on for 3 days and then 3-4 days i should put tattoo creme on it 2-3 times a day
I like hearing that you moisturize when it itches too. I hear people say they just do it once in morning and once at night but I moisturize mine (I just use vitamin E after sun gel, like aloe) multiple times a day and I've always healed well :)
Yeah, my artist told me that after 3 or 4 days, I should moisturize my tattoo about once an hour
I remember when I first watched this before I even had tattoos and I wrote down notes from this video if I ever did. 3 whole tattoos later I decided to come back to see which parts of the healing process I actually do that's like hers. Only things I don't do is I don't use a special soap, I use dial gold (because my also-tattooed friend recommended it to me) and I don't take whole showers until after it's healed a bit (also recommended by the same tattoed friend).
great tips for a first timer! ^-^ great video! thanks a lot!
Thanks for the helpful video! Sorry if you already said this, but what if my tattoo is on my shoulders or back? Should I still wrap it like you do?
Rewatching a bunch of these videos now that I got my first tattoo earlier today
Just got my first tattoo. Thanks for the advice.
I just started watching your channel two days ago.. Every tattoo ive had has scabbed in 2 days and flaked off by 3-4 days.. I use is organic coconut oil to moisturize.. Is it just normal for my body to scab and peel that quickly? I dont think i force peel but im unsure.. Ive just always healed fast
Getting my first tat soon and I know I have sensitive skin that tends to have trouble healing sometimes so I think I’ll rewrap at night so the sore-liquid won’t stick to the sheets
well I don't know about these other people but her tats look fuckin amazing! so that means she did something right!
quick question - how would you do the wrapping for a back piece? seems like it wouldn't work the same - is there a different way to do it? thanks!!
I actually use a beeswax based body moisturiser, it feels more like lip balm and very similar to the tattoo shop healing balm they all sell, it works really well for me! I do prefer a balmy consistency mainly because I already have super dry skin, and it is all natural
I got my first tattoo yesterday and I have no liquid coming out at all. But thanks a lot for your videos, they are very helpful!
I did my first tattoo 4 days ago and I think no need to wrap it after the day you make it, just the first night is enough, and keep it breathing, I wash in the morning and before I sleep, I also use healing cream 3 times a day, seems good so far, but a bit itchy
I just got my first tattoo, so this video is very helpful
for anyone who lives in Maryland or the Delmarva, Lucky Bird is an award-winning shop and the artists are absolutely incredible (go see Flick or Shana!)
Is there anyway of gettin''' rid of the itchiness for good as my new tattoo has started to peel and itchs like mad ? Thank you for your help and tips lol .
My tattoo artist uses derm shield is something similar to sandiderm but you keep it one for a full 5-7 days and it fast racks the healing because the plasma in liquid form actually helps with the healing of your skin and tattoo.
Have you ever used tattoo goo cream that comes in the little tube?? Also is it different healing a color piece from a black and white piece?
Yay! Awesome new person to watch and subscribe too :) You seem like such a beautiful person inside and out!! You're also a fellow vegan! Beautiful tattoos by the way :)
I wrap mine for the first couple of days, because I'm scared that it will get stuck to my bed sheet, or clothing, and to protect it from the elements. and in between wraps, after I wash them, I add a this. layer of aquaphor. after a couple of days, I use s non scented lotion, I usually use an aveeno product. and just keep it moisturized, and let if breath too until it heals. and don't pick scabs like you said! I have a tattoo I need to get touched up, because I picked a scab, and there is a hole in the color.
Thank you for explaining everything about the tattoo healing in one video you speak clearly and with order also you background and experience makes me feel more comfortable about trusting your opinions. You also didn't recommend I buy 30$ creams and other magic potions you kept it simple and straightforward despite the fact I've watched about all the videos on TH-cam about tattoo healing I'm taking your advice as well as my tattoo artists.
about a month ago I got my first tattoo, and I used arnica cream instead of lotion, it seemed to work fine. I healed pretty quickly, and my tattoo healed well.
You should definitely let your tattoo breathe, dont wrap it back up
this is what i do also..you want it to start to dry after you remove the bandage , while cleaning it as well with a rinse ....Then I apply skinfix after 24 hours and rinse to keep from drying up.. Ps. using cold water after the tattoo to rinse will close your pours and keep ink from running out.. that's my method
Could you check out my new tattoo on my channel 😏 I'm now in the process of healing
i don't wrap mine either, unless i have to go out. i also start moisturizing it the next day, with coconut oil. everyone has something that works for them
Your tattoo is an open wound, you shouldn't put oil on it. Healing takes approx 2 weeks, so you should use coconut oil after those 2 weeks.
I use coconut oil instead of unscented lotion (which still burns so bad). It works amazingly.
hey so I'm getting a huge back piece done pretty soon and I was wondering if you had any specific info about healing larger pieces that have multiple sessions.
Hey qcknd, I know this is an old video about how you heal your tattoos but in regards to the first three days when you’re mainly just wrapping your tattoo and washing it, do you wrap your tattoo during the day as well as at night when you’re going to bed? Or do you just wrap your tattoo when you go to bed?
I do pretty much everything you said but I never wrap again after first wash. I just let it breath and apply a thin layer of a healing cream. Maybe 2 days after I use a good moisturiser until it's healed
Excuse me
After you wash the first time in the morning, did you put on your tattoo some cream like bepanthol or aquaphor or something like that? During the day?
Thanks for this video! I got my whole front of my thigh tattood as my first tattoo a couple days ago! My tattoo artist recommended clear/unscented dial soap which I haven't been able to find anywhere! I instead bought a pharmaca body wash that has no dyes or fragrances but im going to buy this soap you recommended instead since I've heard no one talk about the pharmaca one and I want to be extra sure. Which dr bronners soap do you recommend or are they all good?
+mauiwowielmsv seems like its the bronners castile soap. its great for everything. a link to their gentle/non-fragrant : www.vitacost.com/dr-bronners-pure-castile-liquid-soap-baby-mild-unscented-4-fl-oz?csrc=GPF-PA-Babies%20%26%20Kids-018787762042&ci_gpa=pla&ci_kw=&ci_src=17588969&ci_sku=018787762042&gclid=CjwKEAjwq6m3BRCP7IfMq6Oo9gESJACRc0bNzTA-f5e8Y_z2X3xRfwKLT-6V3pqYE-WmfvjvyCxtVxoCL7_w_wcB
nice video cool kid!
I must say my healing process differs from yours..
i apply anti bacterial lotion the very next day... i also disapprove of putting paper towels around the tattoo overnight as this seems to bleed the tattoo of color. Nice video however... keep it up. :D
Hi Qcknd! Thank you for all this info/advice! I got my first tattoo on Tuesday and my artist recommended coconut oil as a moisturizer which I have been applying frequently. Since it's my first tattoo and I don't have anything to compare it to, I don't know if my tattoo is not itchy because it just isn't itchy or because of the coconut oil. Have you tried coconut oil for any of your tattoos/what do you think of using coconut oil? Thanks for your time!
elfbae my friends swear by it
My artist recommended straight up cocoa butter when not washing. It moisturizes it through all stages of healing and post-healing care. It's a little greasy but doesn't stain clothing
Hey, i really enjoy your vids! Super helpful. I'm getting my first tattoo soon and was wondering if you'd recommend wearing leggings and/or jeggings during the healing process (at least when I'm going out).
Hi qcknd! I've always watched your vids just cause i think you are cool, but now I am finally getting my first tattoo soon and trying to do a ton of research to make sure I'm really prepared and able to take the best care of the art possible! I knew your videos would be the best/most reliable place to look! you're informative but still chill 8) i'm wondering - is the skin super painful after being tattooed? like is it quite painful to wash etc? in my head i imagine it feeling like a sun burn but being a currently non-tattooed person i really dont have any point of reference. thanks!!
Getting One This Summer Thank you for The Advice
Thank you for this video I have plenty of tattoos never really understood the RIGHT way, now my neck tattoos infected wish I saw this before 😩😩😩😩
thank you so much. The details helped so much
bepanthen lotion is AMAZING for healing tattoos!!
I was going to use that but I also have some lush dream cream. I dont know what to go with
worried about the bepanthum being drying
***** I've tried both! I found bepanthen was a lot better! Even though I used it on a bigger tattoo than I used dream cream on, it healed a lot quicker, but I only used it for the first 5 days then switched to a moisturiser.
+Jessica Marie i allways recommend bepanthen plus... plus is ment for small wounds (scratches or tattoos in this case) and it's also antiseptic which is a big plus (pun intended)... while the regular bepanthen is ment more for burnt skin than wounds and yeah, it does feel kinda dry when compared with plus... and i also use it for the first 4-6 days... after that i use bepanthol plus (a lotion version of bepanthen) and fish ointment - a thin layer of bepanthol, and after my skin absorbs it (it takes about a minute) i top it off with the fish ointment creme (it's like this greasy thing that puts a nice and long lasting shield over my newborn)
+Emily Jane just.... put the lotion in the basket ;D
Really nice video. Thank you for making it. In your opinion do I put the paper towel and. Saran Wrap during the
DAY **** For 3 days. After washing it or just at night..?.? Thank you. Your tattoos. Look beautiful.
How did you sleep for your calf tattoos?
after how many days of using ointment like awuaphor when would you switch to lotion?
I used pure coconut oil on my tattoo the entire time it healed. I never once used a lotion. I mean now that it’s healed I lotion it all the time because I find it be a little itchy sometimes. It’s 6 months old. But my tattoo artist said coconut oil was fine. I’m about to get a new bigger one this month. Was coconut oil ok to use? My other turned out fine.
