FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
How to care for a fresh tattoo?
When taking care of a fresh tattoo, you should pay special attention to a few key aspects to ensure it heals properly and avoid potential complications. First, it is important to follow the tattoo artist's aftercare recommendations. These usually include washing the tattoo with a mild soap and moisturizing it with appropriate ointments or balms.
When it comes to physical activity, it is worth avoiding intense strength training for at least a few days so as not to expose the tattoo to excessive sweating and friction. Visits to the pool or sauna should also be postponed, as chlorine and high temperatures can irritate the skin and slow down the healing process.
As for alcohol, it is best to avoid drinking it in the first few days after getting a tattoo. Alcohol can affect blood clotting and dehydrate the body, which does not help the skin heal properly. After a few days, you can return to moderate consumption, but it is always worth listening to your own body and observing how it reacts to any changes. Remember, there is no healthy dose of alcohol.
Remember that every tattoo is an individual process, and proper care is key to achieving a beautiful and lasting effect.
