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.
I can see how that works for some people but it was too fast for me because I have ADHD. I had to rewind so much of it that I didn't even get to watch the whole thing, I just stopped. Although, from the information I did understand, it was helpful.

I got 40% of my body tattooed, I use baby lotion (no perfume) for my Long Term Tattoo aftercare. I've got a 22 year old tattoo that is still looking sharp up to now.
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 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. :)
Hey Jacob, I have two words tatted at the back of my elbow. I was sick for a few days and couldn't take care of the tattoo too much and now the peeling has started. I have just 2 small words " Be kind" so I hope I don't have to worry much about taking less care about it earlier.
Hello! size definitely matters, when it comes to taking care of your tattoo. So if you just take care of it from now on, you should be fine! :) Jacob - Team Sorry Mom
My last 2 ended late evening and were one 8h session and the other was 2 consecutive days of 8 and 10h sessions each so i slept w the film and cleaned it thw morning, usually do that in general - atleast 5h, just know my skin well enough now. Regular film was used. And i cream twice a day but oh boy is it a layer 😅😅 but again - thats what works for me specificly. Also always put a lil on when i get an itch, thats an obv one
Hi I just got a tattoo on Wednesday so far everything looks good. Iam a massage therapist for how long can I wear the film to protect my tattoo since I am constantly in contact with people. My tattoo is in the front of my arm forearm
So I'm thinking about getting a tattoo for abiut 2-3 years. My father had one since I could remember it. And I tought maybe I should get one as well but I kinda can't decide on what to get I have multiple Ideas that would look killer. And I don't know if I could handle the pain expetially with needles I have quite a low pain tolerance. So I might try a smaller one with just an outline to see how it feels. And I might just get one this summer.
I'll be getting my first tattoo pretty soon and I'm hella nervous honestly. The aftercare is honestly what's scaring me the most. I'm just worried that I'll mess it up and that it will peel off or something and I definitely don't want that happening.
Try not to stress too much, I got extremely drunk a few days after a huge tattoo and fell and got tore up by branches of a tree. Cuts all over my tattoo a lot of dark blood. Didn’t peel or pull any ink from it, still healed just fine. So unless you plan on taking a chainsaw to it you’ll be fine
Just be gentle,heigenic and dont rub it. Pretend you are washing a newborn baby,scoop the water,soap gently,more water,blot dry,cream,but not too much.
Use silicone based lotions before and after your tattoo. I found ponds anti-aging cream in my pharmacy . It uses dimecone. Anything with -cone is silicone based.
Hi, before I put my wrap to seal the tatoo should i put and ointment? or put on the fresh tattoo dry? ive been tattooing on practice skin for 3 months now
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
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! :)
@@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
My tattoo artist gave me no aftercare instructions and wrapped the tattoo so badly that it fell off after an hour, I left it to dry that night I used cocoa butter. in the morning after sleeping it had a lot of blood and plasma so I washed it with lukewarm water and used cocoa butter 3 times the day after. Today is day 3 and I’m very worried I’ve used ointment too early. Should I now leave it to dry for 2 days before I use the cocoa butter again?
Some days ago, I got a big chest piece done and what I'd bring with me next time is a blanket. I start freezing when I'm in pain for a long period of time.
Got my first tattoo last week. My artist said I had really nice skin.. I've been watching alot of true crime serial killer shows and it must of shown on my face 🤣🤣 he then clarified that my skin was absorbing the ink well 🤣🤣💀
@@JudgeBreddUK yeah It took 35 minutes to get done hurt more then the first one. Not a lot of people have my tattoo just a couple people in each state. What is your tattoo if you don’t mind?
Could You please Recommend some long term tatto care lotions for making my tatto lookfresh and darker in the long run since I have got a tattoo done recently please Do recommend its Required Urgently!
I have a question. After the tattoo is healed completely, i know i have to mositurize it twice a day. But when the sun is too strong outside, do i use moisturizer or sunscreen or both. I mean, do i have to apply sunscreen on top of the moisturizer ? Please let me know. Thanks!
While cleaning shall we wash it with water.. my artist suggested not to let it be in contact with water for 10-15 days after the first wash after one hour of making the tatoo..plz answer
I just showered and removed the saniderm in the shower, cleaned it with the proper soap , now it’s clean and dry so I apply the cream? Or do I just put the new layer of saniderm
Hi have some questions. I hope you can help me out. I just got my half sleeve 3.5 weeks ago. It looks like my tattoo is done peeling. Should I stop washing my tattoo with antibacterial soap? Or when should stop washing with antibacterial soap? Please let me know.
I usually take the cling wrap off right after i get home, wash it gently, pat dry with clean paper towels, (twice a day) and add my tattoo balm, and keep doing that till the swelling goes down and it’s now so raw, after about 2 or 3 days after i wash i let it air dry for about 30, mins then i add my balm so that way the tattoo has time to breathe and start to go through the “crusty” stage while i let it air dry, and then again like i said, still adding balm until it’s mostly all healed on top then i add my unscented, sensitive skin lotion on it to keep it from scabbing and only just peeling like it should
Hey Tayler, It seems like you got your aftercare rutine down :) Normally we tell people to wait a day or two, before start using the balm so the skin can beathe and be completly done bleeding. Jacob - Team Sorry Mom
Hello, after the 24 hour mark, is it okay to apply a small amount of A&D, then put the film over it? Or just leave it dry and apply the film? What do you recommend?
Hello Jawknee! We here at Sorry Mom does not have an extensive knowledge about A&D so I would rather not comment on their product. I recommend that you clean your tattoo and use neutral soap if you dont have a soap specific for tattoos. Then i would apply the film :) After a couple of days i would take the film off and start the aftercare routine. Remember to moisturize your tattoo with appropriate creams. // Jacob - Team Sorry Mom
And after how much time should we not use film anymore. Im doing it 5 of november and I will stay at home on vacations until 14 november. You think 1 week out I should wear it to work?
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?
Hello Hannah, Congratulations on your new tattoo! The rain is not bad for your tattoo, but try to wear loose cloths to cover the tattoo, wash it every couple of hour, with the right products and you should be good. Jacob - Team Sorry Mom
I just got my wrist tattoo yesterday and going to take the second skin off Tomorrow morning to clean it. What type of over the counter soap can I use that is safe for it?
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?
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
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. If you have more questions, feel free to leave a comment or check out the full guide here: sorrymomshop.com/blogs/aftercare/tattoo-aftercare-instructions Good Easter!
@@riccomunoz2501 We would definitely recommend using products specifically designed for tattoo healing, like the Sorry Mom Tattoo Balm or the Process Butter. However, if you don't have that possibility and you are in doubt about other products, you can use the film without applying any moisturizing products.
Hey guys.. i got my tattoo on Tuesday kept the regular foil on for 2 hrs I took it off washed the tattoo and moisturized it with the tattoo balm… the next day I washed it again and I put the balm again… the same day I want back to my tattoo place they cleaned it and put the tattoo film on and told me to have that on for 7-10 days after that to start the cleaning process and healing… so my question is it’s been 4 day since they put the tattoo film can I take it off and start the healing process?
Hello, I'm not a dermatologist, however i would find out, if theres is any ingredients that your skin react bad with. What I can say is, that I have used both our lotion & balm for years without any issues :) Jacob - Team Sorry Mom⚓
wash the tattoo twice per day using antibacterial cream or soap, after taking shower use a tissue not towel to dry it without scrubbing it then use an ointment. only cover the tattoo when you'll lie down on bed 🛌 to sleep. when you wake up, remove the cover immediately and let the tattoo to breathe
I just got my first tattoo today, it’s a small symbolic one on my wrist. She said the healing process would be at most 2-4 weeks. Any advice for aftercare regarding smaller and quick healing tattoos? Or does the same apply from this video? Thanks!
Congrats with the new ink! most aftercare advices apply to every tattoo :) just keep it clean, use a tattoo specific moisturiser and avoid wearing a watch/jewellery if its too tight. Other than that, you should be fine! Best regards Team Sorry Mom
Hi guys! Thanks for the great video. Got my fist tattoo 14 days ago and it’s healing great. My question is, how many after can expose the tattoo to outdoor conditions: sun, rain, wind, dirt, etc.. Thanks!
Hello David! when your tattoo is healed you can start to expose it to most stuff, however sun is never great for the tattoo, so use as much protection as possible however after a month you can pretty much expose it to whatever. We recommend you keep it from salt/chlorine water for 3-6 months. Jacob - Team Sorry Mom ⚓
I got very bad advice from the tattoo studio i went to. they told me to take off the wrap after 2 hours and apply the healing cream 4 times a day. I'm very glad i checked out a video because it felt a little odd. Im on the day after getting my tattoo, I have now cleaned and applied cream like you stated in your video. should i use plastic wrap more? and for how long? thanks in advance
Hello! The clingfilm/plastic wrap is only useful for your tattoo til and from the artist. Some people use the wrap while they sleep to avoid getting the excess ink and blood on their bed but other than that, you should not use it. Unless you are talking about Tattoo film :) Jacob - Team Sorry Mom⚓
What a great video atleast for me who just got a new tattoo. But i have a question if u dont mind to answer this, i asked my tattoo artist bout what am i supposed to do next when im taking off the plastic cover for the tattoo, and he said that i dont have to do amything after taking off the cover. I just got this tattoo this day on my tricep. Thankss
Hello and thanks for the great words! sorry for the late answer. However it depends if its tattoo film or cling film. However you should just keep your tattoo clean and follow a aftercare rutine :) Jacob - Team Sorry Mom⚓
yeah. almost every tattoo artist recommends aquaphor healing ointment. i don’t have aquaphor but i have cerave healing ointment(same shit honestly) and it helped me a lot. it helped me prevent more scabbing, it’s just moisturizing and obviously a healing ointment great for tattoos since tattoos are a wound. scabbing is normal but it sucks if you scab too much because someone pigment gets lifted if you don’t take care of your tattoo properly. don’t apply too much. just a thin layer. having too much kind of doesn’t let the tattoo breathe almost. you don’t want the tattoo to be too moisturized, too wet, too hydrated, etc. like don’t lather so much on. but you obviously don’t want it to be too dry either.
Hello Chase, we would love to help you, but we do not know enough about this specific product to be able to comment on, weather if its okay or not. Best regards team Sorry Mom
I have just tried a aftercare called FADE THE ITCH- Amazing you only need to use clingfilm for a couple of hours. The product totally stopped the itching and didnt stick to my clothing
Hello Steve, we cannot vouch for "fade the itch" here on this channel, since we do not know the product. In fact we would strongly recommend to stay away from "miracle" products, if you choose to use it however. Make sure that it has the propper approvals and that its safe to use on a tattoo. Jacob - Team Sorry Mom
@@SorryMomTattoo I have many Tattoos and have tried countless aftercares - Fade the Itch is by far the best I have ever used - Stops the itching / No sticking to clothing. I purchased it from the UKs leading tattoo supplier Barber DTS. PS I am a Chemist and read labels, this product uses clinically proven ingredients.
We are well aware of Barber DTS, they also sell our aftercare products and is one of our most important partners :) We are glad to hear, that you had great success with "Fade the Itch". But as i said, we cannot as a company indorse products that we know nothing about. Jacob - Team Sorry Mom
Hello Jones. We dont know anything about cethapil, however we made a video about which type of moisturizer, you can use and which ingredients is important for your new tattoo. Jacob - Team Sorry Mom
I have the tattoo film on now for about 30 hours now with a nice pocket of blood haha, But I dont have anymore film to add back on if I was too remove it. Should I just leave it on till sunday like the tattoo artist suggested or remove it and clean it now and start the process
Hello Johnny, Sorry for the late answer. Both thing is fine, if you have extra film, i would change it within the first 24 - 48 hours and if you do not have extra. I would just take it of, after the same time period and start the aftercare rutine :) Jacob - Team Sorry Mom ⚓
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.
Hello Sahej, we always recommend tattoo balm for the initial healing period. If you cannot get your hands on tattoo balm made for healing tattoos i would recommend you to make sure the products⚓ you are using, could be used to heal an open wound and does not contain any ingredients that could harm your tattoo. Jacob - Team Sorry Mom
Nope. If you use it to heal the tattoo it will most likely slow the process as it kills bacteria and new skin cells growing. It's only good to clean the fresh tattoo (by the artist) as it will help reduce bacteria on the skin and sooth the irritation caused by the tattoo process.
Iv got a few tattoos all over 10 years old, but recently parts of all of them have become raised and alittle sore if knocked, anyone know why this happens..im always hydrated..
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
Hello Mr! We made a whole video about this! its called "can you workout or exercise with a new tattoo?" However 2-3 weeks is the optimal period. Listen to your body and start slow. Jacob - Sorry Mom Shop

for tips before getting a tattoo i think it's really important to shave the part your gonna get the tattoo.. makes it easier for the barber

Could You please Recommend some long term tatto care lotions for making my tatto lookfresh and darker in the long run since I have got a tattoo done recently please Do recommend its Required Urgently!
I have a question. After the tattoo is healed completely, i know i have to mositurize it twice a day. But when the sun is too strong outside, do i use moisturizer or sunscreen or both. I mean, do i have to apply sunscreen on top of the moisturizer ? Please let me know. Thanks!
Just use the sunscreen when you're exposing your tattoo to the sun. End of day I'd recommend using the tattoo lotion.
When apply the film for the second time, should I add after care before putting it on? Thanks
While cleaning shall we wash it with water.. my artist suggested not to let it be in contact with water for 10-15 days after the first wash after one hour of making the tatoo..plz answer
lOVE THIS VIDEO, HOW DO YOU KNOW IF YOU WERE CUT AND HOW DO YOU CARE FOR THAT ON A HEALING TATTOO.
If i have the aveeno fragrance free body lotion is that ok to apply after the tattoo balm?
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.
Can I use this Bepanthen Nappy care Ointment cream daily after done Tattoo

Love from South Africa 🇿🇦 ❤
Thank you for the kind words. It is not how we necessarily would do it, but everyone has their own opinions.
So how long do I use the cling film for like how many days and what time of days
I just showered and removed the saniderm in the shower, cleaned it with the proper soap , now it’s clean and dry so I apply the cream? Or do I just put the new layer of saniderm
Hi have some questions. I hope you can help me out. I just got my half sleeve 3.5 weeks ago. It looks like my tattoo is done peeling. Should I stop washing my tattoo with antibacterial soap? Or when should stop washing with antibacterial soap? Please let me know.
I usually take the cling wrap off right after i get home, wash it gently, pat dry with clean paper towels, (twice a day) and add my tattoo balm, and keep doing that till the swelling goes down and it’s now so raw, after about 2 or 3 days after i wash i let it air dry for about 30, mins then i add my balm so that way the tattoo has time to breathe and start to go through the “crusty” stage while i let it air dry, and then again like i said, still adding balm until it’s mostly all healed on top then i add my unscented, sensitive skin lotion on it to keep it from scabbing and only just peeling like it should
Hey Tayler, It seems like you got your aftercare rutine down :) Normally we tell people to wait a day or two, before start using the balm so the skin can beathe and be completly done bleeding. Jacob - Team Sorry Mom
Found exactly this guys video, love how he says tattoo
Hello, after the 24 hour mark, is it okay to apply a small amount of A&D, then put the film over it? Or just leave it dry and apply the film? What do you recommend?
Hello Jawknee! We here at Sorry Mom does not have an extensive knowledge about A&D so I would rather not comment on their product. I recommend that you clean your tattoo and use neutral soap if you dont have a soap specific for tattoos. Then i would apply the film :) After a couple of days i would take the film off and start the aftercare routine. Remember to moisturize your tattoo with appropriate creams. // Jacob - Team Sorry Mom
@@SorryMomTattooso I keep the film on for four days then take it off wash it and moisturize it?
Good. I plan to get a Space Wolf crest on my right pectoral in a few months. I have been doing research and this has been helpful

I just got my tattoo. I work in a grocery store and I have to go outside a lot to get carts (sometimes in the rain) what can I do to protect my tattoo
Hello Hannah, Congratulations on your new tattoo! The rain is not bad for your tattoo, but try to wear loose cloths to cover the tattoo, wash it every couple of hour, with the right products and you should be good. Jacob - Team Sorry Mom
I just got my wrist tattoo yesterday and going to take the second skin off Tomorrow morning to clean it. What type of over the counter soap can I use that is safe for it?
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?
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
Should I apply anything like a balm or moisturizer before the film or is the film by itself fine ?
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.
If you have more questions, feel free to leave a comment or check out the full guide here: sorrymomshop.com/blogs/aftercare/tattoo-aftercare-instructions
Good Easter!
@@SorryMomTattoo would aquaphor considered a balm or a moisturizer that would be safe under the film
@@riccomunoz2501 We would definitely recommend using products specifically designed for tattoo healing, like the Sorry Mom Tattoo Balm or the Process Butter. However, if you don't have that possibility and you are in doubt about other products, you can use the film without applying any moisturizing products.
Hey guys.. i got my tattoo on Tuesday kept the regular foil on for 2 hrs I took it off washed the tattoo and moisturized it with the tattoo balm… the next day I washed it again and I put the balm again… the same day I want back to my tattoo place they cleaned it and put the tattoo film on and told me to have that on for 7-10 days after that to start the cleaning process and healing… so my question is it’s been 4 day since they put the tattoo film can I take it off and start the healing process?
My Ink master snack of choice with starburst any kind. 😂❤
What moisturizershould i use i keep getting bumps n whiteheads on my tattoo
Hello, I'm not a dermatologist, however i would find out, if theres is any ingredients that your skin react bad with. What I can say is, that I have used both our lotion & balm for years without any issues :) Jacob - Team Sorry Mom⚓
Do you have to apply mousturiser on the tattoo before putting that second skin on
No! Make sure that the tattoo is clean and completely dry before you apply the Tattoo Film on it.
If I use the adhesive skin do I put any balm on it before covering?
No, just make sure it's completely clean and dry!
hey i have a question, if you have a back piece how do you do the film and aftercare on it if you cant reach??
wash the tattoo twice per day using antibacterial cream or soap, after taking shower use a tissue not towel to dry it without scrubbing it then use an ointment. only cover the tattoo when you'll lie down on bed 🛌 to sleep. when you wake up, remove the cover immediately and let the tattoo to breathe
I just got my first tattoo today, it’s a small symbolic one on my wrist. She said the healing process would be at most 2-4 weeks. Any advice for aftercare regarding smaller and quick healing tattoos? Or does the same apply from this video? Thanks!
Congrats with the new ink! most aftercare advices apply to every tattoo :) just keep it clean, use a tattoo specific moisturiser and avoid wearing a watch/jewellery if its too tight. Other than that, you should be fine! Best regards Team Sorry Mom
@@SorryMomTattoo thank you! i notice the skin is quite bumpy under the tattoo, is this normal?
@@pogmothoinriiii yes
@@jamieh1883 thank you but it’s been 2 months lol

Hi guys! Thanks for the great video. Got my fist tattoo 14 days ago and it’s healing great. My question is, how many after can expose the tattoo to outdoor conditions: sun, rain, wind, dirt, etc..
Thanks!
Hello David! when your tattoo is healed you can start to expose it to most stuff, however sun is never great for the tattoo, so use as much protection as possible however after a month you can pretty much expose it to whatever. We recommend you keep it from salt/chlorine water for 3-6 months. Jacob - Team Sorry Mom ⚓
@@SorryMomTattoo thanks guys! So no pool for 3-6 months?
I got very bad advice from the tattoo studio i went to. they told me to take off the wrap after 2 hours and apply the healing cream 4 times a day. I'm very glad i checked out a video because it felt a little odd. Im on the day after getting my tattoo, I have now cleaned and applied cream like you stated in your video. should i use plastic wrap more? and for how long?
thanks in advance
Hello! The clingfilm/plastic wrap is only useful for your tattoo til and from the artist. Some people use the wrap while they sleep to avoid getting the excess ink and blood on their bed but other than that, you should not use it. Unless you are talking about Tattoo film :) Jacob - Team Sorry Mom⚓
@@SorryMomTattoo thanks for the answer. ended up only using it during sleep for the sake of my wife
I got my first on my leg and I didnt wear the wrap or film but it looks the same its in the peelin process itch bad
What a great video atleast for me who just got a new tattoo. But i have a question if u dont mind to answer this, i asked my tattoo artist bout what am i supposed to do next when im taking off the plastic cover for the tattoo, and he said that i dont have to do amything after taking off the cover. I just got this tattoo this day on my tricep. Thankss
Hello and thanks for the great words! sorry for the late answer. However it depends if its tattoo film or cling film. However you should just keep your tattoo clean and follow a aftercare rutine :) Jacob - Team Sorry Mom⚓
Is applying a thin layer of Aquaphor Healing Ointment to the tattoo okay? My artists reccomends Aquaphor thats why I ask.
yeah. almost every tattoo artist recommends aquaphor healing ointment. i don’t have aquaphor but i have cerave healing ointment(same shit honestly) and it helped me a lot.
it helped me prevent more scabbing, it’s just moisturizing and obviously a healing ointment great for tattoos since tattoos are a wound. scabbing is normal but it sucks if you scab too much because someone pigment gets lifted if you don’t take care of your tattoo properly. don’t apply too much. just a thin layer. having too much kind of doesn’t let the tattoo breathe almost. you don’t want the tattoo to be too moisturized, too wet, too hydrated, etc. like don’t lather so much on. but you obviously don’t want it to be too dry either.
Hello Chase, we would love to help you, but we do not know enough about this specific product to be able to comment on, weather if its okay or not. Best regards team Sorry Mom
Mine did 2
But my tattoo is under my sleeves, how do I go about that?
im really interested to take similar tattoo what you have in this video. can i get some more pictures of it somehow?
Stupid Question I have the wrap on and leaving it for 24 hours then washing it
Before I put the second wrap on for 2 days should I add lotion or what?
I have just tried a aftercare called FADE THE ITCH- Amazing you only need to use clingfilm for a couple of hours. The product totally stopped the itching and didnt stick to my clothing
Hello Steve, we cannot vouch for "fade the itch" here on this channel, since we do not know the product. In fact we would strongly recommend to stay away from "miracle" products, if you choose to use it however. Make sure that it has the propper approvals and that its safe to use on a tattoo. Jacob - Team Sorry Mom
@@SorryMomTattoo I have many Tattoos and have tried countless aftercares - Fade the Itch is by far the best I have ever used - Stops the itching / No sticking to clothing. I purchased it from the UKs leading tattoo supplier Barber DTS. PS I am a Chemist and read labels, this product uses clinically proven ingredients.
We are well aware of Barber DTS, they also sell our aftercare products and is one of our most important partners :) We are glad to hear, that you had great success with "Fade the Itch". But as i said, we cannot as a company indorse products that we know nothing about. Jacob - Team Sorry Mom
@@SorryMomTattoo Cheers Jacob
If when the artist placed the tattoo wrap, the one you said to keep longer, is it a problem if I notice an air bubble which seems humid?
an air bobble should not be a problem! :) Jacob - Team Sorry Mom⚓
Hi, Can i apply cethapil moisturizing lotion on the 2nd day after session?
Hello Jones. We dont know anything about cethapil, however we made a video about which type of moisturizer, you can use and which ingredients is important for your new tattoo. Jacob - Team Sorry Mom
Lol.. I love the name of this channel!! 😅😁
Glad you enjoy it!
During the healing process, how many times are day is generally recommended for you to wash and moisturize?
Hello Speedy! 3-5 depending on your skin type, the climate you live in and your line of work. Jacob - Team Sorry Mom ⚓
So leave the tattoo film on for 2-3 days after the tattoo is done, only then take it off?
I applied my cream twice a day in the morning and and in the evening
Great video! Thank you!
I have the tattoo film on now for about 30 hours now with a nice pocket of blood haha, But I dont have anymore film to add back on if I was too remove it. Should I just leave it on till sunday like the tattoo artist suggested or remove it and clean it now and start the process
Hello Johnny, Sorry for the late answer. Both thing is fine, if you have extra film, i would change it within the first 24 - 48 hours and if you do not have extra. I would just take it of, after the same time period and start the aftercare rutine :) Jacob - Team Sorry Mom ⚓
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.
Don't worry! Your tattoo will be fine. It's better using cold water than boiling water :-)
Watching this in the shower. I resklu kple thr oatt diejn I isiuns siakkand akallakd. Tjnx!
Brilliant easy to follow guide...thank you
I’m confused. For 2nd day reapplication, should I moisturize before placing new film on?
No, no make sure the tattoo is clean and completely dry before you apply new film
Can i use cetaphil moisturising lotion for after care?
Hello Sahej, we always recommend tattoo balm for the initial healing period. If you cannot get your hands on tattoo balm made for healing tattoos i would recommend you to make sure the products⚓ you are using, could be used to heal an open wound and does not contain any ingredients that could harm your tattoo. Jacob - Team Sorry Mom
Is bactine good for the aftercare process?
Nope. If you use it to heal the tattoo it will most likely slow the process as it kills bacteria and new skin cells growing. It's only good to clean the fresh tattoo (by the artist) as it will help reduce bacteria on the skin and sooth the irritation caused by the tattoo process.
Iv got a few tattoos all over 10 years old, but recently parts of all of them have become raised and alittle sore if knocked, anyone know why this happens..im always hydrated..
I'm getting a touch up but itll be on my back so I'm nervous not being able to see what I'm doing.
You should find an artist that you trust, that way you can relax and have a good experience.
Yey yesterday I just got my new tsa-tsuuu
