I could not express enough the importance of self care! Especially when it comes to the tattoo industry! We’re not living in the 50’s where tattoos cost a buck, a brew and a pack of smokes. Today you are investing in a piece of artwork to last a life time. And not at a small cost. Here are just a few simple yet effective ways to help you to have a quick healing and more enjoyable tattoo experience for both you and your artist!
Drinking lots of H2O! This is the ULTIMATE way of hydrating your body and preparing it for tattooing and throughout the tattoo process. Be sure to drink plenty of water prior to your appointment and bring some with you as well!
Eat your veggies! Antioxidant-rich foods have been proven to have protective effects on your skin! Eating a well balanced diet is important with overall health!
Moisturizing daily, and exfoliating twice a week. This is a regular habit you would benefit from adopting. This ensures smooth, hydrated and unblemished skin for an even tattoo and healing process.
Choose the right moisturizer for your skin.
Speak to your artist about what they recommend to apply after getting your tattoo.
Keep clean, shower after workouts, excess sweating.
Every ones skin is different so listen to it when it’s begging you to.
This helps create a much better tattoo experience for you and your artist. Not to mention a much better healing process. If you don’t think it totally effects the tattooing process and how your tattoo heals, think again! We know if you take care of your skin!
Plus it’s never a bad idea to take better care of yourself anyways! Here’s to healthy living! 🥂
