Working immediately after a tattoo?

  1. I'm getting tattooed on my arm tomorrow pretty much right after my tattoo is done. I'm going to be washing dishes/handling food l a lot and I need tips on keeping it clean please.

    You shouldn't keep your tattoo in water for long periods of time until it's healed, i have tattoos all over also don't go out in the sun with your tattoo exposed, i did once & now my tattoo raises up every time i go out in the sun lol

  3. Should I keep it wrapped through my shift? And sun isn't an issue. I work nights

  5. If you can keep it wrapped & change it if you feel it's getting wet
     
  6. Rub it with ointment and put saran wrap over it. That will keep the water out.
     
  7. I second this. ^^
     
  8. You’ll need to keep it wrapped for a certain amount of hours after first getting it then let it breath to heal. Healing my be slowed if you have to keep it wrapped 40 hrs a week. Did you discuss touch up with your artist.
     
  9. I don’t envy you, and the itching you will have to endure.

    Actually I do. I want another tattoo!

    I’m hoping to see pics of your new arm art.

  11. Yeah. My price includes a touch up within the first year. But I realized that night when I worked that I'll be fine. It'll be mid forearm on my non-dominant hand and that doesnt often get wet. If it does theres paper towels nearby.
