Modern Tattoo Aftercare: A Guide to Best Practices
Traditionally, tattoo artists have provided a basic set of guidelines for aftercare:
Avoid picking scabs.
Clean with antibacterial soap.
Moisturize with recommended products, like Aquaphor (though Aquaphor isn’t universally recommended).
Refrain from swimming.
While these are general guidelines for wound healing, they may not be all-encompassing for every individual, given the diversity of skin types and lifestyles.
