Products I recommend in this video: Sheacare sheacare.co.uk/ Hustle Butter www.hustlebutter.com Palmers Tummy Butter uk.palmers.com/cocoa-butter-formula/29-tummy-butter-for-stretch-marks.html Or any unscented cocoa butter or coconut oil
I use Dermol (emoliant & dermatitis cream) on my new tattoos 2-3 times a day & it's awesome, it's also a soap so it keeps the artwork clean & eases the itching. I'm unsure if it's available over the counter as I was prescribed it for Radiotherapy burns when I was going thru nasal cancer treatment, thoroughly recommended (the cream not cancer obviously lol). I used Bepanthen once on 1 tattoo on my forearm & had a major allergic reaction to it & it felt like someone had poured acid over my arm, not recommended. Great channel :)
I'm not sure mate, could be you drive a Mazda Miata? Or could be you have underlying sciatic nerve pain...i don't know..im not a beutician, car expert or a neurologic expert.
Is stupid to think that a tattoo artist will keep "in secret" and won´t tell you how to aftercare your tattoo , the artists matter the final result of the tattoo a lot more than the client itself , the tattoo is the artist presentation card and them always go for the best posible result
I've heard bepathan recently changed the formula to include more lanolin. Which made it clog up the new tattoo wound. I've used Palmers cocoa butter the last 3 tattoos I've gotten, it's healed great, I even hardly saw any flaking, and itching was nearly non-existent.
No-Ones Home On my 3rd day. They said to use a light un-scented lotion... no a&d or aquaphor... I can tell it’s dry tho. It’s kinda scaly like it’s dehydrated... wat should I do
I prefer dry healing its worked great for me personally. Before work I use a thin layer of moisturizer and after i just clean it off with a paper towel. This was really informative, thank you so much for sharing :)
Very informative but... you shouldn’t leave the cling film on until the next day , that’s how you get an infection and heavy scabbing due to the blood and plasma drying up . I have 7 tattoos at the moment , I have only had cling film on for 2 hours at the most from leaving the tattoo parlour , and it hasn’t failed me every tattoo has healed 10/10. You are meant to let the wound breathe oxygen is good for it
You leave the cling film on because your tattoo is an open wound. This basically gives it times to 'close up.' It's more of a health / lowering infection thing; not a 'gives you a better looking tattoo' thing. I usually leave my cling film on over night (got 2 full sleeves and all tattoos were done at night), sleep with it on, then when I wake up: immediately take it off, wash and rinse, then go to normal lotion aftercare routine. Never had an infection and all my tattoos look like they did on day one (which also has ALOT to do with the artist). Cheers! *Edit: Everyone has their own routine. Manomi Frost says she doesn't even put lotion on her tattoos, only cleans with soap, and they look really good. Just got to find routine that is best for you, given the genetic and environmental factors: like how oily your skin is, clothes you wear, humidity, temperature, etc.*
The artist who did my latest tattoo recommended to cover the tattoo with clingfilm for about 2-3 days, changing the clingfilm and gently cleaning the tattoo with water 2-3 times a day. Before I always did the usual clingfilm till morning, then appropriate cream + washing, but I have to say that this 2-3 day clingfilm procedure made heal my tattoo like never before. When I transitioned from the clingfilm to the cream part I peeled completely in about 2 days. Then it healed really fast, the only issue was that it was a bit dry for the first week, but eventually that was solved via the cream. What is your opinion on this procedure? :) Anyway, great videos, keep up the good work.
Would my homemade beard balm be better to use than bepanthen? I use organic natural products.. Beeswax, Shea butter, coconut oil, almond oil, tea tree oil, peppermint oil.. ??
very informative video, although regarding the healing i would like to add that it depends on the area and the size of the tattoos. that said, the complete healing would take about 3 to 4 weeks, which includes the forming of the new layer of skin that was damaged during the tattooing process. also avoiding exposure to direct sun or heat, and Salt water for the fist month or so will increase the life and strength(Texture) of the tattoo. Good luck and god bless!!!
This is such good advice. I wish everyone could watch this before getting a tattoo. I also love that she recommended hustle butter. It's the best, in my opinion.
Remove clingfilm 4hrs after tattoo completion. Rinse with warm shower and scentless anti bacterial soap/handwash (usually blue) very gently to remove all plasma, let the shower do the work. Dry round edges without touching your new inking, let the fresh masterpiece air dry for at least 30 mins. Apply a tiny amount of Bepanthan, emphasis on very light amount, just enough so the tattoo looks shiny. No visible creme left on skin. Apply every 6-8 hrs or whenever skin begins to tighten, gently showering the area each time DO NOT BATH the area until fully healed. Allow to air dry again, a little less required as time goes on but make sure the area is dry before applying Bepanthan or it will lock the moisture in. Again, the thinner the application the better! Clingfilm for first few nights if required (not too tight)..I.e awkward area like elbow which is easy to catch on bed sheets etc. Next morning remove clingfilm and go through same rigmarole (trust me it's worth it, this inks for life) then clingfilm if clothing will come into contact. Keep this routine going every 8 hrs or whenever possible. Allow the air to get to your new tattoo if and when possible...like when watching TV for example. Clingfilm shouldn't be necessary after a week unless you suffer from the dreaded itch. I find applying cling film forms a protective barrier so you can GENTLY run your finger nails over the itch. DO NOT attempt this without a taught layer of clingfilm over your inking or you've just wasted your hard earned cash because your ink will now be under your nails and said masterpiece will be ruined. The itch WILL go. As long as you keep the area clean and be very cautious your new tattoo should heal fine. This is the method I use and will continue to do so. Happy inking everyone!
Your method is the exact method I use, it’s never failed me, my tattoos have all come out great and the older ones have proven the test of time so far. I usually peel twice, first the big chunky scabs, and then a secondary very thin layer of skin once the bigger scabs have all gone. At this point I use palmers coco butter (although I have tried a more genetic coco butter on my latest tattoo and it was more than half the price of Palmers, and worked just the same … I shopped carefully and read the ingredients, there are some butters out there full of perfumes and unnecessary stuff, but this one I bought is very minimal and natural, and cheaper yay!). All tattoos have taken approximately 1 week to shed twice and move onto coco butter, however I had my first calf tattoo in which my body just wasn’t happy… no infection, all fine, but the scabbing stage took forever, about 3.5 weeks until I was ready to move to the coco butter. Weird, but it healed lovely and I’m super happy.
i learnt personally to not use bepanthen. it made my tattoo that was supposed to be a black work type - grey and blueish. i used a different cosmetic (easy tattoo) on the other side of the leg and the contours (that side if the leg wasn't filled) of the tattoo are a lot darker.
I use aveno on my ink and it healed in less than 2 weeks... and I use it from top to toe every day.. and I use dove soap to wash.... I've never had any problems..
Best experiences I’ve had with healing my tattoos was shea butter and naturally, petroleum jelly. If I had to cover it up, or have clothing slightly tighter, I’d apply a very thin layer of well rubbed in petroleum jelly, and whenever I’d get back, or If I was going to moisturise it, I’d lather up some shea butter soap, and then apply and moisturise it into the tattoo, and then lightly dab it off with water, avoiding scratching the tattoo at all. That’s held the pigment super nicely in my tattoos, and really well kept them in! Everything works different. If you’re getting itchy too, resist! Either that, or slap it very lightly.
Treat it like the wound it is. Used Savlon on all of mine, especially my whole back piece. Never had a single problem and very minimal skin peeling or scabbing over when healing. Wash it first thing in the morning after sleeping and every evening. Savlon after both washing and once during the day if it gets a little itchy or really dry.
1. I leave saran wrap on at least overnight 2. Clean with Dial anti-bacterial soap suds 3. Let tattoo dry for 72 hours 4. Now you can start to lightly moisturize tattoo MAKES THE TATTOO REALLY POP
@@marissa8518 Just once, right after you take off the saran wrap. Your tattoo will be peeling very ugly using this method, but temporary ugliness will have permanent beautiful results
I got my first and only tattoo in 2004. It was extremely painful, and took weeks to heal, despite my meticulous aftercare. Eight years later, I found out I have a genetic connective disorder. It causes problems in every part of my body, including the skin. This is why I had so much trouble with my tattoo. I’m dying to get more tattoos, but I’m afraid of complications. My skin has become even more fragile as I get older, and even a small scratch causes a deep wound that takes forever to heal.
I have a genetic connective tissue disorder as well and thankfully I'm able to get tattoos. From your description it's sounds like you have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome Classic type, I have hypermobility type.
This is an unsolicited suggestion and definitely not a real solution, but have you considered high quality fake tattoos? They usually last up to a month. It's a way to express yourself without having it there forever, and it obviously isn't as traumatic for your body. I'm not going to plug the brand I've tried, but they're easy to find online.
I never know whether I should re-wrap with (obviously fresh) cling film after washing the tattoo. I’ve seen some tattooists say keep it wrapped for several days and others say to leave it uncovered after removing the initial cling film. It’s hard to know what to do for the best!
I re wrap mine just at night for the first 3 days them were loose cloths and moisturise about 2 times a day and wash it about 2 times a day for around 2 weeks :)
I had a tattoo ant the care I was told to leave the cover on for 30 minutes and after that I was to wash it every 4 hours and use baby soap like Johnson &Johnson plain soap after that he told me to use aquaphor which is a thick cream
Film Dressing used for burns are the best way to heal a tattoo. Some companies have made their own and sold them as tattoo aftercare but its the same stuff.
I use Bepanthen when working as I find the "Thick" layer helps against clothes rubbing etc but I do find it tends to leave a bit of a build up. When at home in the tracksuit I prefer something thinner like coconut oil. I recently tried a product called Sorry Mom which gave rather positive results.
Organic African Black Soap is a god send: It's anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and naturally moisturizing. It's organic, so no artificial coloring, and artificial scent.
All I use is lubriderm. No aquaphor because it can trap bacteria also it won’t let it breath! My neck/throat healed in under 2 weeks. I just got my hand 3 days ago, the swelling went down, starting to get itchy a bit but we will see how it heals 👍
My tattoo didn’t ooze or weep on the first night or after. Is that normal? Also I was recommended Bepanthen but now I’m seeing it might not be a good idea. I’m not sure what to do because Bepanthen is all I have available
Mine didn't either. Do you have an unscented soap? I've been using ivory. Then pat dry with paper towel. An hour later I top with triple antibiotic. Do this at 3x daily. Just keep clean. I won't add lotions of any kind until like 2 weeks out. But this is what works for my skin. Also, drink lots of water, even echinachea tea is a great natural antibiotic and vitamin C if you have any. Hope all is going well with your tat!
I feel mine healed in a week. ALSO USE BABY NAPPIES THE MATERIAL INSIDE WORKS WELL TO KEEP HYDRATED IN THE FIRST 3 DAYS. DEPENDING IF YOU HAVE DRY SKIN
Michael Goth actually she is but your head is so far up your own ass that you can’t understand that just because someone isn’t your type it doesn’t mean they’re unattractive.
Ali Moses does it belong to you for you to be able to tell others what they can and can’t say? If you can’t handle a little ass then clearly the internet is not for you.
I've never used betpathen. It's for babies bums for a reason. Skin can't breathe and asking for infection. I use a aloe Vera lotion and it's cooling for large tattoos
On my 3rd day. They said to use a light un-scented lotion... no a&d or aquaphor... I can tell it’s dry tho. It’s kinda scaly like it’s dehydrated... wat should I do
thanks for this comment, walmart sells it so itll probably be easiest for me to get, what type do you use tho please? just the normal to dry skin one or the intense repair/really dry skin one? as i see there are a handful of types they make and sell
its okay i saw that one when i was looking up what Lubriderm is, ill just make sure to take a picture to cvs or walmart when i go so i get the right one lol! thanks very much for responding :D!!
I use Carex soap for cleaning out my new tattoos, and then after it has dried I put on a thin layer of Palmer's Cocoa Butter. Rinse and repeat, a few times a day :) I find applying a bit of the Palmer's if it's really itching during the peeling stage helps soothe it so I don't end up accidentally scratching at the tattoo too!
Hustle butter took the ink out of my tattoo 😔 I use palmers coco butter fragrance free an amazing product. And I kept the cling film on for 2 hours ( advice from my artist )
I've been using raw cocoa and Shea butter to heal my new tattoo I apply it 3 times a day in morning, afternoon, and night. so far it hasn't scabbed up or been itchy it's only three days though old so we will see
I got myself a tattoo last month, and it's been two weeks now and I haven't cleaned it with water. My tattoo artist said I should not let it come in contact with water. Now I can see small amounts of dirt near the tattoo after moisturizing. Im confused whether or not to clean it?
Tattoos don’t take a week to heal after six days that’s when it peels it usually takes 30 to 36 days when it’s all healed in the scabs are all gone Aquaphor is the best aftercare.
I have one more quick question for you Holly, what do you think about Tattoo Goo's tattoo aftercare lotion? (The one with Healix Gold + Panthenol, in the yellow and white little tube) Also what do you think the H20 Ocean Blue Green Foam Soap is a good soap to wash your new tattoo with? It's fragrance free and antibacterial.
Hi I was wondering if you could give me a little advise please? I've just had a neck tattoo and was wondering about the best aftercare as it's really hard not to move it and stuff. Also everything I read tells me to keep it out of the sun which is impossible as I work outside and we're having this mad heatwave in England, probably not the best time to of had it done. Any advise would be much appreciated thanks
I never hear how long a new tattoo should be moisturised for, sometimes ink in certain parts stays like very small bubbles and nobody I know isn't really sure if they should keep moisutising it or leave it. Also no one ever says if moisturising it lightly for months will keep it fresh or doesn't make a difference.
I'm planning on getting a large thigh piece done this summer. Unless something changes, I'll be working at a family restaurant. I've been able to let my first two tattoos heal without havign to deal with them being covered by clothes for long periods of time but a leg can be different, especially in a food service area. Any advice on how to keep a fresh tattoo comfortable and safe under looser fitting capris or pants?
ive had my complete stomach/ribs done man im a mechanic/welder healing i just had to be cautious about how i moved if you sweat profusely just make sure to have a shower or clean your fresh tattoo when you can/when you get home.then apply a thin layer of cream back over before bed or in the morning
You can put gauze over it with some medical tape just over the corners of it. It gives you a clean sterilized barrier that can absorb sweat and the skin can breathe.
My tattoo artist told me to stick to aquaphor till it heals to not switch to lotion what are ur opinions on that? Im on 12th day of healing and my tattoo didnt really peel much its already on a shiny coat should I switch to lotion?
A very informative video. i have used Bepanthen on a few of my tattoos but i have also used cocoa butter and aloe vera gel too. You can get a big tube of AV from Holland and Barrett for about 6.99. When it comes to leakage, I use child's bet wetting sheets such as Huggies dry nights or Pampers change mats (I have ASDA own brand ones) as they are absorbent and stop anything getting on your sheets. They are also disposable.
wash with scent-free anti-bac soap, apply a very thing layer of tattoo goo or Aquaphor 2-3x a day till it gets dry, has cracking or scabbing, then switch to scent-free lubriderm 2-3x a day till it heals. Done
@@richardshears6435 they press it different and when using that on a open wound it feels better to ask what is suggested since there are many different kinds of coco oils :)
Just came from a video about Bepanthen not being good for healing tattoos because it causes blotchiness and other undesirable results, most of which causing an effect of a new(ish) tattoo to look way older than it is.
Just in the process of a full sleeve, for me, best results is to wash with dermatological soap and pat dry with kitchen towel 3 times a day and apply a very thin layer of vegan cream (for tattoos) after each wash/dry. Top tips....keep it dry and avoid the sun. I follow these rules and roughly 5 days to heal. 👍🏼
Any advice for a gym rat person who gets a tattoo. Is it better to stay away from the gym with a healing tattoo or is it fine to workout still long as you clean it and shower afterwards
I think the issue is with people not knowing when a tattoo is actually healed. The top two layers will shred off in 1-2weeks leaving you with new "healed" skin underneath, but that doesn't mean the bottom layers of skin have healed properly or that the texture of the top layer has gone back to how it should naturally be. Edit: I am a tattoo artist.
Hiya, I just got my first tattoo 2 weeks ago, and my artist used Saniderm to cover it up. Basically it's a layer of 2nd skin that you leave on for a couple of days and it stops things from getting gooey and makes it heal faster. Do you have any experience in using this? My parents, sister and brother-in law, who are all heavily tattooed, had never heard of this product, and I wonder why it isn't being used more often. x
It’s wonderful when used correctly, but can cause a *really* bad reaction in some people when used in conjunction with numbing sprays. Or if applied at home and the area is not totally clean first, so the dirt gets trapped inside. So it’s fine when used at the advice of your tattoo artist because they know what other products they’ve used on you :)

That clickbait though :D I've been suggested this exact aftercare for all of my tattoos so where's the secret?
When you said Carex, do you mean the antibacterial handwash? I’m kinda curious lol
So no lanolin due to animal products, how about your ink, is it animal product free as well?
I use Dermol (emoliant & dermatitis cream) on my new tattoos 2-3 times a day & it's awesome, it's also a soap so it keeps the artwork clean & eases the itching. I'm unsure if it's available over the counter as I was prescribed it for Radiotherapy burns when I was going thru nasal cancer treatment, thoroughly recommended (the cream not cancer obviously lol).

The Original EB Henna is a great substitute also! It can last three weeks
Try Saniderm. It works great for people with autoimmune disorders. It puts a second skin over the tattoo while letting it breath.
It's because your bloodline is weak and you'll probably not survive the winter.

I was told to leave the tegaderm for two days and then wash it off with soap and apply lotion or Vaseline. Is that the usual?
i wouldn't use Vaseline because its tested on animals.
I translate with google translate sorry? after the tattoo we just have to put a plastic bag if so how long and we have to change it every 1 day?
is aloevera moisturizer is good to 3day old new tattoo ??
No itching if it scratches?
What’s that plastic film some roller put over their new tattoo?
What about A+ D ointment??
I had a tattoo ant the care I was told to leave the cover on for 30 minutes and after that I was to wash it every 4 hours and use baby soap like Johnson &Johnson plain soap after that he told me to use aquaphor which is a thick cream
I wash and moisturise my tattoo twice a day morning and night is that okay?
I used Hemp Coconut Oil . any one else??
Yes indeed it does
indeed
I was thinking an organic cbd oil but idk
Film Dressing used for burns are the best way to heal a tattoo. Some companies have made their own and sold them as tattoo aftercare but its the same stuff.
I use Bepanthen when working as I find the "Thick" layer helps against clothes rubbing etc but I do find it tends to leave a bit of a build up. When at home in the tracksuit I prefer something thinner like coconut oil. I recently tried a product called Sorry Mom which gave rather positive results.
Organic African Black Soap is a god send: It's anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and naturally moisturizing. It's organic, so no artificial coloring, and artificial scent.
Natural black soap has exfoliating factors , not good for your tattoo , but If you can avoid that then yes
Yeah I'll pass on the chance of malaria
Anything from Africa is dirty.
I love ur smile ...... ur name? ?? Plz
She has put the recommended creams in the links below guys!! Stop asking if you can use Vaseline, scar cream etc etc
All I use is lubriderm. No aquaphor because it can trap bacteria also it won’t let it breath! My neck/throat healed in under 2 weeks. I just got my hand 3 days ago, the swelling went down, starting to get itchy a bit but we will see how it heals 👍
Mam, can i use tatwax cream on a 10 days old tattoo??
is it good for healing , shine and protect?
pls suggest....
My tattoo didn’t ooze or weep on the first night or after. Is that normal?
Also I was recommended Bepanthen but now I’m seeing it might not be a good idea. I’m not sure what to do because Bepanthen is all I have available
Mine didn't either. Do you have an unscented soap? I've been using ivory. Then pat dry with paper towel. An hour later I top with triple antibiotic. Do this at 3x daily. Just keep clean.
I won't add lotions of any kind until like 2 weeks out. But this is what works for my skin. Also, drink lots of water, even echinachea tea is a great natural antibiotic and vitamin C if you have any.
Hope all is going well with your tat!
I feel mine healed in a week. ALSO USE BABY NAPPIES THE MATERIAL INSIDE WORKS WELL TO KEEP HYDRATED IN THE FIRST 3 DAYS. DEPENDING IF YOU HAVE DRY SKIN
Hustle butter is awesome, it really does work well
Any opinions on washing the tattoo in cold water vs hot water?
You are attractive af.
papele papelle not really
Michael Goth actually she is but your head is so far up your own ass that you can’t understand that just because someone isn’t your type it doesn’t mean they’re unattractive.
Ali Moses I’ll say ass all I want. If you have an issue with it then exit the internet.
Ali Moses does it belong to you for you to be able to tell others what they can and can’t say? If you can’t handle a little ass then clearly the internet is not for you.
I've never used betpathen. It's for babies bums for a reason. Skin can't breathe and asking for infection. I use a aloe Vera lotion and it's cooling for large tattoos
Joe b there's two types of bephathen one for babies and one that you can use on cuts or cracked skin
How soon can you work out after getting a tattoo?
Is it normal after the top layer of skin peels of your new tattoo does it do wrinkley then a new layer of skin growing over it.
Is ur Dreadlocks r extensions or real. Which shampoo u use?? And how much did u pay?
I got eleven tattoos and eleven different aftercare suggestions LOL you seem really nice, what a shame we arent closer :)
On my 3rd day. They said to use a light un-scented lotion... no a&d or aquaphor... I can tell it’s dry tho. It’s kinda scaly like it’s dehydrated... wat should I do
I use unscented Lubriderm lotion in a pea to dime size depending on the size of the tattoo. It's never failed me.
We don’t get lubriderm over here but I’ve heard good things about it!
That's my go-to as well! Never fails me
thanks for this comment, walmart sells it so itll probably be easiest for me to get, what type do you use tho please? just the normal to dry skin one or the intense repair/really dry skin one? as i see there are a handful of types they make and sell
Q L No problem! The best is Lubriderm Unscented Normal to dry skin lotion. It comes with a blue label. I wish I could post a pic to help more.
its okay i saw that one when i was looking up what Lubriderm is, ill just make sure to take a picture to cvs or walmart when i go so i get the right one lol! thanks very much for responding :D!!
I use Carex soap for cleaning out my new tattoos, and then after it has dried I put on a thin layer of Palmer's Cocoa Butter. Rinse and repeat, a few times a day :) I find applying a bit of the Palmer's if it's really itching during the peeling stage helps soothe it so I don't end up accidentally scratching at the tattoo too!
Super helpful video! 💕 Would you be able to list the aftercare products you mentioned?
Hustle butter took the ink out of my tattoo 😔 I use palmers coco butter fragrance free an amazing product. And I kept the cling film on for 2 hours ( advice from my artist )
I've been using raw cocoa and Shea butter to heal my new tattoo I apply it 3 times a day in morning, afternoon, and night. so far it hasn't scabbed up or been itchy it's only three days though old so we will see
Not mentioned in the video, but when showering you should avoid the shower stream directly hitting the new tattoo, and avoid hot showers.
Clean it once a day till it’s healed?
Can i use aloevera gel ?
Can I use Vaseline petroleum jelly as an after care?
21whichiswhich I wouldn’t, Vaseline blocks pours and I even know someone who used it had the ink drawn out by it. 😕
No vaseline, it will screw up your tat
Vaseline was used for many years.
Old school...
I use something called tattoo goo
Its amazing.
What if I have tattoos on my fingers? How do I take care of them so they last longer?
"lurgies" that's fucking stupid but fucking adorable
I got myself a tattoo last month, and it's been two weeks now and I haven't cleaned it with water. My tattoo artist said I should not let it come in contact with water. Now I can see small amounts of dirt near the tattoo after moisturizing.
Im confused whether or not to clean it?
Yes clean it asap
Have you tried Dermalize instead of clingfilm?
im planning on a neck tattoo.. am i supposed to wrap it with something during sleep and stuff
My tattoo artist provided the soap and cream with the tattoo. Just part of their service. Good to know that this might not always be the case.
Tattoos don’t take a week to heal after six days that’s when it peels it usually takes 30 to 36 days when it’s all healed in the scabs are all gone Aquaphor is the best aftercare.
Is lush's elbow grease suitable for aftercare?
How long until you start to apply lotion?
I have one more quick question for you Holly, what do you think about Tattoo Goo's tattoo aftercare lotion? (The one with Healix Gold + Panthenol, in the yellow and white little tube) Also what do you think the H20 Ocean Blue Green Foam Soap is a good soap to wash your new tattoo with? It's fragrance free and antibacterial.
Hi I was wondering if you could give me a little advise please? I've just had a neck tattoo and was wondering about the best aftercare as it's really hard not to move it and stuff. Also everything I read tells me to keep it out of the sun which is impossible as I work outside and we're having this mad heatwave in England, probably not the best time to of had it done. Any advise would be much appreciated thanks
I never hear how long a new tattoo should be moisturised for, sometimes ink in certain parts stays like very small bubbles and nobody I know isn't really sure if they should keep moisutising it or leave it.
Also no one ever says if moisturising it lightly for months will keep it fresh or doesn't make a difference.
I'm planning on getting a large thigh piece done this summer. Unless something changes, I'll be working at a family restaurant. I've been able to let my first two tattoos heal without havign to deal with them being covered by clothes for long periods of time but a leg can be different, especially in a food service area. Any advice on how to keep a fresh tattoo comfortable and safe under looser fitting capris or pants?
ive had my complete stomach/ribs done man
im a mechanic/welder
healing i just had to be cautious about how i moved
if you sweat profusely just make sure to have a shower or clean your fresh tattoo when you can/when you get home.then apply a thin layer of cream back over before bed or in the morning
You can put gauze over it with some medical tape just over the corners of it. It gives you a clean sterilized barrier that can absorb sweat and the skin can breathe.
Why would you choose to get a new tattoo in the summer? It would be much easier to care for in the winter. 👍
Coconut oil pulls moisture from the skin & is also highly comedogenic.
Can i ask Which food i can eat for a week? I know which food avoid but idk which food better for lunch and dinner 😅
I do use panthenol plus is this okay for the aftercare?
Hi Holly! Love your videos. What do you think if things like Saniderm?
My tattoo artist told me to stick to aquaphor till it heals to not switch to lotion what are ur opinions on that? Im on 12th day of healing and my tattoo didnt really peel much its already on a shiny coat should I switch to lotion?
A very informative video. i have used Bepanthen on a few of my tattoos but i have also used cocoa butter and aloe vera gel too. You can get a big tube of AV from Holland and Barrett for about 6.99. When it comes to leakage, I use child's bet wetting sheets such as Huggies dry nights or Pampers change mats (I have ASDA own brand ones) as they are absorbent and stop anything getting on your sheets. They are also disposable.
wash with scent-free anti-bac soap, apply a very thing layer of tattoo goo or Aquaphor 2-3x a day till it gets dry, has cracking or scabbing, then switch to scent-free lubriderm 2-3x a day till it heals. Done
i work as a General labour iv 3 off after i get my half sleeve any advice for me to keep it clean while im at work
Also do you know why my artist suggest to wash and re-wrap it for the first three days?
is coconut oil coldpressed ok , does it matter if it still has coconut smell or should it be fragrance free ?
Pure coconut oil WILL smell of coconut wouldn't it lol it's a natural product so it shouldn't be fragrant free
@@richardshears6435 they press it different and when using that on a open wound it feels better to ask what is suggested since there are many different kinds of coco oils :)
Just came from a video about Bepanthen not being good for healing tattoos because it causes blotchiness and other undesirable results, most of which causing an effect of a new(ish) tattoo to look way older than it is.
Just in the process of a full sleeve, for me, best results is to wash with dermatological soap and pat dry with kitchen towel 3 times a day and apply a very thin layer of vegan cream (for tattoos) after each wash/dry.
Top tips....keep it dry and avoid the sun. I follow these rules and roughly 5 days to heal. 👍🏼
I do the exact same thing but mine heals over a month
I love the roses on your neck! They look stunning!
‘Specially formulated for tattoo healing’ lmao. Wait til it itches then hit it with lubriderm a couple times a day. Instructions complete
Can you use E45 cream?
Bepanthem is a barrier like Vaseline and stops the tattoo from breathing which slows down the healing process..
Any advice for a gym rat person who gets a tattoo. Is it better to stay away from the gym with a healing tattoo or is it fine to workout still long as you clean it and shower afterwards
Dont sweat out toxins/ink...eat your 1gram of protein per pound of body weight and you will be fine staying away from the gym for 21 days.
is there any chance to catch you in germany?
My only travel plans this year are the Amsterdam tattoo convention in November i believe
Love your tattoos and your videos xxx
Thanks Caroline x
No tattoo heals in a week unless it's really tiny or something lol
Mine do!
WASD I use moa balm and my tattoos are generally healed within a week.
I think the issue is with people not knowing when a tattoo is actually healed. The top two layers will shred off in 1-2weeks leaving you with new "healed" skin underneath, but that doesn't mean the bottom layers of skin have healed properly or that the texture of the top layer has gone back to how it should naturally be. Edit: I am a tattoo artist.
Mine do
Mine do when I use coconut oil
I actually dont use any lotion during the healing process and ive got 20 tattoos
I just got my first one and havent done anything but wash it everyday
Hey, thank's for your advices, I'd like to ask if almond oil is okay as coconut oil to help the tattoo healing?
I’ve not tried it, so don’t know sorry!
I got a colour tattoo yesterday and it’s been leaking a bit of colour ink - is this normal?
Totally normal!
Hiya, I just got my first tattoo 2 weeks ago, and my artist used Saniderm to cover it up. Basically it's a layer of 2nd skin that you leave on for a couple of days and it stops things from getting gooey and makes it heal faster. Do you have any experience in using this? My parents, sister and brother-in law, who are all heavily tattooed, had never heard of this product, and I wonder why it isn't being used more often. x
It’s wonderful when used correctly, but can cause a *really* bad reaction in some people when used in conjunction with numbing sprays. Or if applied at home and the area is not totally clean first, so the dirt gets trapped inside. So it’s fine when used at the advice of your tattoo artist because they know what other products they’ve used on you :)
Oh my god "LURGIES" LMAO
