Gone are the days when tattoos were only restricted to a certain areas. Now,people are trying to get themselves tattooed on their eyelids,lips,nails and some even on their scalps. Tattoos have become a part of today's style statement. Often known as body art,this remains with you forever.
Robbie Lucas , a software professional says,"I have a tattoo since the last four years. It's on my right arm and I've got my son's face tattooed. Whenever I feel down, I look at this tattoo and I feel good."
Now that it's etched in our skin and is a part of our lives , taking care of it becomes imperative.A few simple ways to take care of tattoos which is not very taxing are:
-Keep the tattoo away from direct sunlight. A light cloth or a good sunscreen may prove to be very helpful in retaining the colour and the lustre of the tattoo.
-A new tattoo must always have a bandage on when it is newly made. We must not forget it's still a fresh wound and may attract infection if left open and unattended.
-Never use a petroleum based ointment or a jelly. Use an antibiotic cream or an unscented lotion. If you want to go a mile further , consulting a dermatologist for the perfect cream for your skin type sounds like a good option.
-When a tattoo starts itching and scabbing , never ever itch or pick on it. It will ruin your tattoo forever. The best way is to pat the tattoo with a soft warm cloth so that the skin may sting back and the itch subsides.
-If your skin is scabbing , never peel it off. Just let it be. When having a shower, peel off the soft scabs which are loose and not stuck to your skin.
-You can have a shower and a hot bath , but it's not a good idea to soak into the tub. Wait till the tattoo has finished scabbing and itching.
-Avoid sweating if your tattoo is fresh. Sweat is a way of the skin to keep itself cool. Sweat removes the toxins. Toxin sweat tickling down your tattoo can get infectious.
-Tattoos are beautiful and meaningful. A little care for the tattoo will make it look pretty and it will be a long time before you have to get a touch-up done.
