Pre/Post Tattoo Tips
So you've decided to get some new ink? Congratulations!
At RUB ONE OUT TATTOO AFTERCARE CO., we know that getting a tattoo is an exciting experience, but it's important to take care of it afterward. Here are some tips on how to prepare for your tattoo session and care for your new tattoo:
Before you Go
Before getting a new tattoo, it’s important to take care of yourself. I can't stress this enough, GET A GOOD NIGHTS SLEEP!! Be sure to eat a healthy meal and drink plenty of water beforehand to ensure that you’re well-hydrated. Also, avoid alcohol and any blood-thinning medications as they can affect the outcome of your tattoo. Lastly, wear comfortable clothing that will allow easy access to the area in which you'll be getting the tattoo. Make sure if you're getting custom work done that you have seen the final drawing and if you think you need to change something, no matter how small, do it! Tattoos are forever.
Post Tattoo
If your artist has wrapped your tattoo, once you take it off you'll want to clean it right away. That post tattoo slime is yuk! RUB ONE OUT TATTOO AFTERCARE SOAP is ideal as it cleans and soothes.
It's important that you don't go swimming or soak in a tub for at least 3-4 weeks after your new tattoo. It's normal for your tattoo to be red or sore for the first few days. Take an over-the-counter pain reliever like acetaminophen or ibuprofen if needed. Your tattoo will probably get itchy, resist the urge to scratch it. Apply RUB ONE OUT TATTOO AFTERCARE BALM, it will soothe the itch. If you have any questions about proper aftercare or are experiencing any issues with your tattoo, please don't hesitate to contact us or your artist. We're here to help you every step of the way to ensure your new tattoo looks amazing for years to come!
