To help your tattoo heal after the bandage is off:
Do this for 2 to 4 weeks. Avoid very hot water, swimming, and the sun for about 2 weeks.
It’s normal for a tattoo to scab. But never pick, scratch, or peel it. You could get an infection or remove the color. If you think your tattoo isn’t healing properly, see a doctor.
Apply a layer of antibacterial ointment twice a day.
Wash your tattoo area several times a day with soap and water; pat dry.
Apply a moisturizer or ointment after you clean it.
