Professional Tattoo Aftercare Guide (Day-by-Day) | Sorry Mom

[@headshot_hermionegranger7401]

Getting my third tattoo next week. My first one was nearly a decade ago now. This is one of the more comprehensive guides I've come across for aftercare. While I have two already and am familiar with the general process for healing, I've found it never hurts to refresh my knowledge beforehand and see if advice for care has changed.

Great vid. Tip: start taking collagen supplements about a week before your tattoo and while it’s healing. Will keep skin elastic, healthy, and physically speeds ups the healing process. No one ever talks about collagen

[@jonthiel6987]

Yes! 1st Phorm Collagen helped me a ton

[@AnandHalbhavi]

Thank you for the tip! I have a 5-6 hour tattoo session next week and I’ve never heard this! Also my first tattoo so I’m absorbing the knowledge! Wouldn’t have thought that but makes total sense! Appreciate you!

[@AN2431C]

In general, (as a doctor) I'd advise against using collagen supplements for anyone getting a tattoo or any surgical procedure, due to the increased risk of scar development. Some people may be prone to developing keloid scars, and taking collagen supplements can only make this worse. I've seen one individual who's new tattoo completely scarred up and was ruined. He was already prone to keloid scars, and had been taking a collagen supplement before, and after getting his tattoo. That aside, however, collagen is a great supplement that more people should consider taking.

The tattoo films are similar to wound dressings we use after surgery, so to make removal easier stretch the film while removing. You'll find it comes off easier than simply peeling it off.

although iam not an expert I beleive ( at least for my body) that the washing gently+ moisturising twice a day is the most important part of the healing . the rest is great if you do it but it's not going to damage your tatoo if you are clean . I may be wrong but that's what works with my body.

Very comprehensive guide, but what I actually came looking for was missing. My artist said to moisturize it 3-4 times a day, I wanted to check what others recommend on this and if I have to completely wash the tattoo 3-4 times a day everytime before I apply the cream anew (which I would.

[@lufcbrice]

[@Nemain_]

@lufcbrice Ive been washing it 2-3 times a day (morning, afternoon, before bed) and I switched from the tattoo cream to unscented moisturizer earlier since I had a little reactive spot that was red. But it's been healing nicely now. I only wash it once a day now and put cream on when its dry. :)

[@vladalexandru5861]

Hi guys, I use your balm for the healing process and I do the following: Keep the clear plastic for 2 hours, wash the tattoo area, dry it than apply Sorry Mom balm and just leave it to breathe. I do this for the next 10 days or sometimes depending on the area 11 or 12 days. After that I just use normal hydrating cream just to keep the skin from drying out. What do you think about this method? Or should I go with your film for the healing process? It would be much much easier for me to just use the film instead of the balm. Also another question: Balm or butter? Which is better for the healing process? Thanks

[@SorryMomTattoo]

Hi Vlad :) Most of the customers that we are in contact with have experienced better results by keeping the tattoo film on the first 3-4 days. Then, after that period, they start their regular aftercare routine (wash + moisturize 2-4 times a day, depending on your skin) for 2 weeks. After those 2 weeks, to keep your skin hydrated and elastic, then they use the tattoo lotion, to make sure the tattoo is properly moisturized and looks fresh. Regarding the question about the balm and the butter: although the butter has proven to be super effective in the healing process, the balm was specifically developed for that purpose. Therefore, if you need something for the healing process exclusively, we'd say you should go for the balm. We hope this was helpful! :)

[@vladalexandru5861]

@@SorryMomTattoo Thanks , just what I thought and that is why I am going with your balm. After 10 days I found out that my tattoo is healed (with the exception of the knee area which is more delicate). After the days I think I will try the butter to just keep the skin elastic and from drying out. Anyways keep up the good work and the great products. Cheers

Hi Ricco :) The first 24h you have the bandage on, it's best to have the film only. However, once you apply a new bandage (which you will have for 3-4 days) we recommend applying a thin layer of balm/moisturizer. This will keep the area properly moisturized during the first days of healing.

I just got a tattoo and the new type of film he put on it bubbled up..a bit of water got inside the film..Should I take it off and moisturize the tattoo and put old school wrap on it?

[@divinevenum9637]

If i have the aveeno fragrance free body lotion is that ok to apply after the tattoo balm?

[@SorryMomTattoo]

If the tattoo is fresh and new, use the tattoo balm on the tattooed area, and the body lotion on the rest of your body.

Day 5+ do you clean and moisturizer twice a day? If it seems dry, more? I feel like mine needs to be a little dry to heal but I still want it to be hydrated.

[@SorryMomTattoo]

Hey Ali, you have to put on a thin layer of moisturizer between 2-5 times a day, depending on where you live, your skintype etc. You should wash your tattoo before applying lotion/balm every time. Its not a bad idea to let the tattoo dry out a bit, but you need to be on top of it and dont let it dry out to much. Jacob - Sorry Mom

Do you have to apply mousturiser on the tattoo before putting that second skin on

[@SorryMomTattoo]

No! Make sure that the tattoo is clean and completely dry before you apply the Tattoo Film on it.

I had 45 minutes of sleep before going for my first tattoo yesterday lol

Hey can anyone give me some tips about what to expect for getting a tattoo? I mean I know it's going to hurt, I know I’m going to be nervous but can you tell what else to expect please?

[@SorryMomTattoo]

Hello Aiden, most people overthink the first tattoo and yes its going to hurt, some places more than others :) However, eat before you go there, bring snacks/something to drink, bring something to watch on your phone or talk with the artist. I hope this was useful because in the end, its not that bad (most places) but thats it! Best regards - Jacob Team Sorry Mom

I love the way he says tattuu more that idea of getting one now 😭

Hello, got my second tattoo exacly 1 week ago. Some days I used more of a cold water than lukewarm water. Is this bad for my healing process? Now I'm only using lukewarm water to wash it.

[@SorryMomTattoo]

Don't worry! Your tattoo will be fine. It's better using cold water than boiling water :-)

[@briancarlisle8886]

love your red rose tattoo so bright vibrant

[@SorryMomTattoo]

Thank you Brian!

[@savannahsearson]

Thanks for my first tattoo! I got a small ankle tattoo and it’s been 2 weeks. When can I start to do yoga again? Because it may rub the tattoo on the floor.

[@SorryMomTattoo]

Hello Savannah, wait a week or so and then you should be fine! Jaocb - Team Sorry Mom

[@ShaShaSugarbaker]

I’m confused. For 2nd day reapplication, should I moisturize before placing new film on?

[@SorryMomTattoo]

No, no make sure the tattoo is clean and completely dry before you apply new film

[@samplasse9886]

How many times a day should u moisturize? I just got a tattoo 5 days ago and I dont want to over or under moisturize. The tattoo is hard to reach cus its on my upper back and spine

[@japhetbesa676]

I've just got an armband tattoo yesterday. They've put a saniderm patch on it and told me to let it sit up to 10 days. Do I just leave it there or take it up like in 5-7days? It's my first time getting a tattoo.
