Any tattoo can be covered up, although it may need to be faded with laser tattoo removal first (usually only 2-3 sessions required). Even if you have a large, solid black tattoo, a good cover-up tattoo artist will work with you to create a strategy for covering it with a new design you can get excited about.

Apply it every 3–4 hours, and make your no tight clothing is irritating the tattooed area, if its more non-visible. And also try avoiding to go out in the sun and don't let the tattoo be directly exposed to sunlight.

Most tattoos usually start peeling by the end of the first week. This part comes after the initial bandaging required after you first get your tattoo done. You might also have scabs that peel off on their own into the second week of the healing process.

Be sure to keep your exciting tattoo journey and achievement as memorable as possible by waiting for 2–3 weeks between tattoo sessions. Tattoos will last forever, so there's no point in rushing the process. Remember that the main reason for this wait is to ensure that you heal properly.

You should continue to wash your tattoo 2-3 times a day with antibacterial soap and lukewarm water until it's fully healed. This can take anywhere from 2 to 6 weeks, depending on the size and location of the tattoo.

A minimum of 6-8 hours is recommended. Traditionally henna is left on overnight and you will get a darker, longer lasting stain if you leave it on for 12-16 hours (especially on difficult to stain parts like the upper body).

To allow the skin enough time to heal between treatments and the body's immune system to flush away ink, we recommend a minimum of six weeks between laser sessions – and eight weeks for darker complexions.

Tattoos don't typically bleed much or at all. Your artist should have given you an after care sheet. Keep bandage on until you are someplace where you can begin proper care, preferably no longer than ten hours.

If you have a new tattoo, it's important to lay off tanning until it's healed completely. Tanning too soon can cause your tattoo to take longer to heal and may even damage it. Tanning too soon can also cause your tattoo's color life to fade.

After getting a tattoo, the outer layer of skin (the part you can see) will typically heal within 2 to 3 weeks. While it may look and feel healed, and you may be tempted to slow down on the aftercare, it can take as long as 6 months for the skin below a tattoo to truly heal.

The peeling often occurs about three to four days after you first get the tattoo. "As the epidermis sheds, the skin often develops a whitish, cracked and hazy appearance before subsequently peeling off," Dr. Lin says. The peeling normally resolves one to two weeks later.

Wait 24 hrs until getting your new tattoo under a shower. Make sure it's OK (see point 1!) to have removed any wraps before showering.

You must avoid working out for 7 days following your microblading appointment. Light exercising is allowed (minimal sweating), but you must clean the tattooed area with lukewarm water as soon as you are done exercising. The salt in sweat will fade the pigment very quickly and give poor results.

Wash your new tattoo every couple of hours for 3 days. That means: Wash, dry and apply ointment. Remember to use hot water (the hotter the better), and yes, I know that can be rather uncomfortable. Glide over your flesh wound with your (squeaky clean) finger tips and soapy water.

You should moisturize your clean tattoo 3 – 6 times per day, for roughly two weeks (though proper skincare is always important, and most tattoo enthusiasts moisturize their tattoos daily for life!). A white cream lotion or moisturizer, preferably unscented, should be used!
