les 3 clefs de la guérison d'un tatouage + astuces pour la vie !

Welcome to my video on the 3 essentials during the healing of the new tattoo. To keep your tattoo vibrant despite the years that pass, there are 3 major keys to respect during the healing time, which, as a reminder, lasts 6 weeks. The first key is to wash your new tattoo every day during the first week. It can be under the shower or under tap water, but only use your soap that comes with the healing kit and do not let your soap drain to everyone's reach. Your healing tattoo should never be submerged for long, so avoid bathing and everything that is pool, spa, hammam, lake, river, etc. Second key, just like you, your healing tattoo needs to breathe. Dress as much as possible to release it. Avoid clothes that are too warm, plushy or irritating like jeans. Do not apply bandages or cellophane during the healing. Third and last key, moisturize it, but not too much. When your tattoo is dry after washing it, apply a thin layer of ointment. This is to be repeated as needed. When your tattoo is no longer dry, it will pull and eat you up. The first 2 weeks of healing can be applied about 4 times a day, morning, noon, evening and at bedtime. Important note during the healing. Always wash your hands before touching your tattoo for the first day. Be careful not to let anyone touch your tattoo during the healing. As cute as your pet is, it can easily infect your tattoo. Do not let it stick to you or sleep with you during these 6 weeks. I repeat, avoid all swimming during the first 4 weeks and spa during the total 6 weeks of healing. During the healing, your skin will peel a bit like a sunburn. It can be very tempting to rub or remove this skin, but do not do it because you will damage your tattoo irreversibly. Let it fall by itself. A few more tips after the healing. Daily hydration of your tattoo, whether with your body moisturizer, coconut oil or anything else. When you expose yourself to the sun, apply a sunscreen with a high level of SPF. In the summer, prefer the shade of the sun to keep a very vibrant tattoo. These tips are as good for colored tattoos as those in black and grey. These 3 additional tips are to be applied every day for the rest of your life. If you follow my advice, you and your tattoo will heal beautifully.
