Tattoo care afterward?

Question

You know how you're supposed to keep it dry & clean for a few days and take quick showers. Well what if I work out at home and I have to keep it covered because I don't want my parents to see it and I sweat a LOT. would that affect the tattoo/healing process?

Answer 1

It'll more than likely prolong the healing time.  Covering your tattoo = smothering.  Your tattoo needs to breathe to heal.

Answer 2

Well your color may not stay as vibrant but I got my tattoo on my foot in the middle of Feb. and I love in Wisconsin so I had to have my fooyt covered. It took a little longer to heal but it did fine. My artisy gave me tattoo goo though, that stuff rocks, for the life of your tat.  

Answer 3

well the guy who does my tats tells me to keep them moistured buy reapplying fragrance free lubriderm throughout the day.. my tattoos never faded.

Answer 4

I put A&D ointment on it for about a week and the next week just put unscented lotion on it and it shoud be healed.... absolutley no swimming for at least 2 weeks

Answer 6

A good fragrance free lotion and don't pick the scabs ( if you have any) and don't itch it.
