Aftercare Tips When Getting A Cosmetic Tattoo

By Shawn Hunter


Getting permanent tattoos is not only for decorative purpose or for art. There are times when people get the said procedure so that they can improve their eyebrows, lips, and the likes. If you plan to take advantage of the said cosmetic tattoo Somerville, then you have to remember the follow post-procedure tips for the matter.

First, you should prepare cold packs. Even if they cannot make any noticeable difference to your swelling, these cold packs can feel good to the skin without causing you any problems. This can be a source of comfort for your skin. Make sure that the cold bags are not of freezing temperature since that can damage the sensitive area.

There is proper timing to remember in using the said pack. You just need to apply it on the area for a period of ten minutes, every other hour during your first day. Do not overdo the application. During the second day, you can switch to using the warm moist packs. As an alternative for cold packs, you can have chamomile tea bags.

The permanent tats you have obtained are just skin-deep wounds. They are just similar to simple scratches one can easily get around the house. Just like with simple scratches, they can easily ooze out or scab. The tats you have gotten are the same way, even with your healing rate.

The sensitive area must not be left to dry. You must keep it moist at all times by applying healing ointment to the outer healing area. Ask the surgeon who has operated on you about the ideal ointment to apply to your operated spot. There are salves and balms that are very effective for you to use.

You might see some signs for allergic reactions and infections. Whenever you see signs for these, you must immediately contact your makeup artist or physician. Notify them about it so that they can see what problems are there and prevent it from further progressing. Notify them as soon as you see the first signs of infections.

People who have gone through this procedure must avoid strenuous activities. All strenuous activities will just cause problems, especially because they dilate blood vessels and increase blood pressure. Oozing and swelling will happen if that is the case. You also have to avoid sweating because that might get in contact with the wound strings.

Absolutely no scrubbing. Avoid rubbing, scratching, or wiping the spot that you have had your surgeon work on. Instead of scrubbing, rubbing, scratching, or wiping, you can just use a patting motion on the affected areas.

Keeping the affected spot as clean as possible is necessary. You just need to rinse it off or blot it, especially when it is oozing. Never use the cleansers or soaps when they are alcohol-based. The same if they are for acne treatment and anti-aging. These are products with chemicals that might burn or bleach the affected areas. If you do not want that to happen, then you better avoid the said products.
