there are as many different ways to take care of your tattoo as there are tattoos also everybody's got a theory the most important thing is just don't pick at it don't scratch at it don't sleep on it and get it stuck to your bed don't get it stuck to your clothing and don't overdo it there are things you want to look out for when you're healing a tattoo such as cleaning products like if you're cleaning your bathroom and you just got your sleep done you might not want to get bleach all over your arm things like that can cause adverse reactions however it's not the end of the world either none of it is life-threatening or or or horrifying at all as far as the actual healing goes there's a lot of products on the market we sell a lot of them here at all or nothing and I have a staff of 72 people and I think out of those there's probably seventy two ways to heal a tattoo so the the common stock answer is a company called h2ocean which is i believe just h2ocean calm we also sell it on our website it is a very simple you just kind of wash it clean it below that on it you're good another product that we've been using with great results is called tatau ta ta you not sure what their website is but that's a little bit more expensive of a product that really achieves very similar results the most important thing is that you wash your tattoo and I personally tell my clients to make sure that they're washing the tattoo multiple times throughout the day it's easy you know little thing I antibacterial soap in your pocket or whatever you know you go to the bathroom while you're watching your hands go ahead and wash it beer too you know it doesn't hurt anything as far as Lubriderm or petroleum based products or all these aunt ments and sabs really the simpler the better less is more if you've got some kind lotion it's heavy and fragrances it's going to burn because it's going to have alcohol in it so it's going to hurt you can use it but why would you want to you don't have to smell good you'll be healed in three or four days so it's not a big deal Vaseline intensive care lubriderm fragrance free of course all these products work and all of them have a little bit different way of doing it and your artist will give you actually most states require that your artist gives you written instructions as you leave the studio so it might be very different than what you live within our studio and each studio probably has their own theory of how to do that but as long as its reasonable I say I say follow that
