Proper care for your new tattoo


The first few weeks after your ink is a crucial moment and it has a lot to do with whether or not your tattoo fades. Do not scratch as it might pull up some of the pigments. It is important to apply ointments or moisturizers continuously to your tattoo during the first 2 weeks.

If scabs develop, never pull them off or you risk pulling out some of the tattoo's pigment. The less pigment there is, the less vibrant your tattoo exudes, which gives it a fading appearance. Keep your new tattoo clean to prevent it from becoming infected; something else that can cause pigment loss.
