oschulte Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 There seems to be so much info on what to do right after you get a tattoo but what happens after it fully heals? Say you hit the 4 week mark and your tattoo looks healed and ready to see the light of day (with SPF of course), do you keep washing it daily with soap or can you use the regular body wash you used to use before you got a tattoo and only wash it as often as you shower. Also in terms of moisturising, i used to moisturise every 2 days with body butter but is this potentially harmful to a healed tattoo? Should you keep avoiding alcohol and fragrance in your moisturisers or can you essentially treat your tattoo as normal skin now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess Sparkle Mittens Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Wear sunscreen. Gentle exfoliation can make well healed (AKA longer than a month) tattoos look a bit brighter temporarily (do NOT exfoliate a month old tattoo). Wear sunscreen. Otherwise you can treat it like any other bit of skin. Wear sunscreen though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hogrider Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 I never wear sunscreen. I keep my tattoos covered. :-) Treat a fully healed tattoo just like any other skin. The sun is a tattoos worst enemy - just like every other piece of skin. Amit Levy and oboogie 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
