| Your body has its own ways to heal itself, but there are a few things you can do to help the healing process along. I always advise washing the tattoo with an antibacterial soap such as carex, with clean hands, next apply a thin layer of savlon skin healing cream or prep h to the area. Wrap the tattoo in cling film. This helps because you are not letting any air to the piece, which keeps it moist and therefore stops the majority of the scabbing, healing the tattoo from the inside outwards. Repeat this twice a day for at least four days and avoid obvious things like sunbeds and swimming pools. |
