Clean your tattoo properly
After getting a tattoo, your artist will typically apply a thin layer of ointment and cover the area with a bandage. It's important to follow their instructions on how long to leave the bandage on and when to remove it. Once the bandage is removed, you'll need to clean your tattoo thoroughly with lukewarm water and a mild, fragrance-free soap. Gently pat the area dry with a clean towel and avoid rubbing or scrubbing the tattoo. You should clean your tattoo 2-3 times a day for the first few days.

Keep your tattoo moisturized
After cleaning your tattoo, it's essential to keep it moisturized. Your tattoo artist will recommend a tattoo-specific lotion or ointment to use during the healing process. Apply a thin layer of the lotion or ointment to your tattoo 2-3 times a day or as directed by your artist. Over-moisturizing can be just as harmful as under-moisturizing, so be sure to follow the recommended application frequency.

Avoid picking or scratching your tattoo
Your tattoo will likely start to scab and itch as it heals. While it can be tempting to scratch or pick at the scabs, this can lead to scarring and infection. Instead, resist the urge to scratch and apply a cold compress to help soothe the itching.

Protect your tattoo from the sun
Once your tattoo is fully healed, it's still essential to protect it from the sun. Sun exposure can cause fading and damage to your tattoo, so be sure to apply sunscreen with at least SPF 30 when you'll be spending time in the sun. If you have a new tattoo, it's best to avoid direct sunlight or use clothing to cover the area.

Watch for signs of infection
While rare, infections can occur after getting a tattoo. Signs of infection include redness, swelling, and discharge from the tattooed area. If you notice any of these symptoms, seek medical attention immediately.
