    A lot of good information on washing a new tattoo. how many do you each of you have?

    i have 4 one on each wrist 1 on my foot and one on the back of my neck

    btw try placing a cold cloth on your foot in it can help with the swelling :) thats what i did and i kept my foot elavated for a day or 2 :)

    I'm pretty much sleeved up, yes shower... But, don't use a wash cloth on it & soap with no fragrance.. & use Aquaphor....

    If you're not sure, call YOUR tattoo artist.

    That's what I was told to use :)
    just plain old soap and water has always worked for me, followed by gentle drying by dabbing the tats and then I always use bepanthan baby bum cream. Dont have the water too hot, because it'll sting like sunburn does when you take a hot shower!

    Bepanthan is all I ever use on my ink :)
