Levi jerrum Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Hello I’m new to the last sparrow and need some help. I work outside in the heat and I got my first tattoo three days ago on my upper back and without thinking about it the past two days I’ve been working in the heat all day with a sweat drenched shirt on I plan on bringing extra shirts to work from now on but could these past two day have an effect on the healing of my tattoo and what it will look like when it’s done healing?

Gingerninja Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Hi. You need to keep your tattoo VERY CLEAN. How are you cleaning it during the day? Night? oboogie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levi jerrum Posted September 12, 2018 Author Share Posted September 12, 2018 I shower in the morning and at night and apply soap and lotion I bought from a tattoo shop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SStu Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Your sweat shouldn't really affect things much. Important that whatever you're doing outside doesn't include lots of dust, dirt or grime which might soak through your shirt and into the wound between cleanings.

lape Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Sweating, specially in the early days of a fresh tattoo is good for you, just you need to keep the salt off- which means you should probably wash it more often (and put on a clean shirt).
