Hey Husks, I recently got a tattoo and have been washing it twice a day. Can you tell me when to stop doing this?
Sure, I'd be happy to help. You should continue to wash your tattoo twice a day until it's fully healed. This varies per person, but generally, it goes on for about two to three weeks.
Oh two to three weeks, thanks for the info. But what if the tattoo seems to heal faster?
Even if it seems healed, I'd still advise following the two-week minimum. This is to ensure that the tattoo is completely healed from the deeper layers of your skin, and not just superficially.
And if I mistakenly forget to wash it twice a day, will this cause any issues?
Well, proper aftercare is crucial to prevent infection and ensure the best healing. While missing a wash once off might not be a problem, consistently forgetting might affect the healing process. It's better to set a reminder for yourself.
Got it, thanks so much Husks, your guidance is greatly appreciated.
You're welcome! Don't hesitate to ask if you have any other questions. Enjoy your new tattoo!
