Getting a tattoo can be a very exciting experience, but it also requires proper care and maintenance. One of the most important steps in the healing process is knowing how long to leave the wrap on the tattoo. This guide will provide information on how long to leave wrap on a tattoo, as well as tips for proper aftercare.
Instructions:
1. After getting the tattoo, your artist should wrap the tattoo in a sterile bandage. The wrap should be left on for a minimum of two hours or up to four hours.
2. Once the wrap is removed, it is important to gently wash the tattoo with a mild, fragrance-free soap and warm water. Pat dry the tattoo with a clean towel and apply a thin layer of fragrance-free lotion.
3. For the next two weeks, it is important to keep the tattoo clean and moisturized. Wash the tattoo twice a day with warm water and mild soap and apply a thin layer of fragrance-free lotion.
4. For the first week, avoid swimming and soaking the tattoo in water. After the first week, you can start to slowly reintroduce swimming and other activities that involve contact with water.
5. Do not use any creams, ointments, or other products that are not recommended by your tattoo artist.
6. After two weeks, the healing process is complete and you can start showing off your new tattoo!
