Post-Tattoo Moisturizing
The practice of applying moisturizing products to a fresh tattoo to keep the skin supple and support healing.
Keeping the skin moisturized during healing helps reduce excessive dryness, itching and overly intense peeling. The ideal amount and frequency vary from person to person and tattoo to tattoo — using too much product can also be counterproductive, smothering the skin. Each artist usually recommends the product and routine that work best with their own method, and that guidance should take priority over generic recommendations.
