But before you do, you need to make sure you take proper care of your tattoo with Tattybee, the best tattoo aftercare product line on the market.

Tattoo aftercare is not complicated, but it does require some attention and dedication. You need to follow the instructions of your tattoo artist and use the right products to keep your tattoo clean, moisturized, and protected. In this blog post, we’ll share some tips and recommendations on how to take care of your first tattoo with Tattybee, as well as introduce you to our tattoo aftercare product line that will help you heal faster and preserve your tattoo’s quality.

The Basics of Tattoo Aftercare

The first thing you need to know about tattoo aftercare is that it varies depending on the size, location, and style of your tattoo, as well as your skin type and personal preferences. However, there are some general guidelines that apply to most tattoos, and they can be summarized in four steps:

1. Clean your tattoo. After you get your tattoo, your artist will cover it with a bandage or a plastic wrap to protect it from bacteria and dirt. You should leave this on for a few hours, or as long as your artist tells you to. When you remove the bandage, you need to wash your tattoo gently with warm water and a mild, fragrance-free soap. You can use your fingers or a soft cloth to remove any blood, plasma, or excess ink. Do not scrub, rub, or pick at your tattoo. Rinse well and pat dry with a clean towel. You should repeat this process two or three times a day for the first week, or until your tattoo starts to peel.
2. Moisturize your tattoo with Tattybee Tattoo Balm. After you wash your tattoo with antimicrobial Soap, you need to apply a thin layer of Tattybee Tattoo Balm, a natural, vegan, and cruelty-free product that moisturizes, soothes, and protects your tattoo. It contains ingredients such as shea butter, coconut oil, calendula, lavender, and tea tree oil, which have healing, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial properties. Tattybee Tattoo Balm also helps prevent scabbing, cracking, and fading, and enhances your tattoo’s vibrancy and clarity. You should apply Tattybee Tattoo Balm two or three times a day, or whenever your tattoo feels dry or tight. Do not use too much product, as this can clog your pores and affect your tattoo’s healing. Do not use products that contain alcohol, petroleum, or artificial fragrances, as these can irritate and damage your tattoo.
3. Protect your tattoo. Your tattoo is an open wound that needs to be protected from external factors that can harm it, such as sun, water, and friction. You should avoid exposing your tattoo to direct sunlight for the first two weeks, as this can fade your ink and cause sunburns. You should also avoid swimming, soaking, or sweating excessively, as this can wash away your ink and cause infections. You should wear loose, breathable clothing that does not rub or scratch your tattoo, and avoid sleeping on your tattoo or putting pressure on it. You should also avoid touching your tattoo with dirty hands, or letting others touch it, as this can transfer bacteria and germs to your tattoo.
4. Monitor your tattoo. As your tattoo heals, you may experience some itching, peeling, flaking, or scabbing. This is normal and part of the healing process. Do not scratch, pick, or pull at your tattoo, as this can damage your skin and ink. You can apply some of our Tattoo Balm to relieve the itching and moisturize the peeling skin. You may also notice some slight swelling, redness, or bruising around your tattoo. This is also normal and should subside within a few days. However, if you notice any signs of infection, such as excessive swelling, redness, heat, pain, pus, or fever, you should contact your tattoo artist or a doctor immediately. You should also contact your tattoo artist if you have any questions or concerns about your tattoo’s healing.
