While the healing stages of a tattoo will be as unique to each individual as there are people in this world, the tattoo healing process does follow a general pattern. The specifics of each tattoo's healing process will depend on the different skin type of the individual, the location of the tattoo on the body, an the techniques of the tattoo artist. These factors can all cause a variance in the healing process from individual to individual.

If your tattoo artist cannot help, they should send you for medical attention from a doctor. If they do not, then of course, you must go yourself to make certain that your health is not at risk. This is your responsibility.


* Avoid direct contact with sun rays. Excess exposure to the ultraviolet rays can ruin the tattoo wound. If your tattoo is on a body part that is easily exposed to the sun, then apply sunscreen lotion.
* Avoid wearing tight clothes on the tattooed body part. Say, if you have tattooed on your foot, you should avoid wearing socks and tight footwear. Avoid any type of friction over the tattoo due to clothing.
* Never use alcohol based products on the tattooed area.
* Apply thin layers of lotion and ointment on the tattooed area. Thick layers can alter the healing process.
So, these were some suggestions on tattoo aftercare. Tattooing is not an easy process and you need to take special care to maintain the beauty and quality of this great body art. All the best!
