Aftercare

As eager as you might be to show off your new tattoo, it's essential to follow the proper tattoo aftercare practices to avoid infection, irritation, or fading. Proper aftercare ensures your tattoo heals well, retains its color, and looks vibrant for years to come. If you recently got a tattoo in Toms River, NJ, Alliance Tattoo recommends you follow our proven guidelines for the best results and safe healing.

Here are our top aftercare tips for your new tattoo:

• Don't touch the healing area without washing your hands to prevent bacteria from causing infections.
• Wash the healing area three times a day with warm water and antibacterial soap to keep the skin clean and reduce irritation.
• Apply a thin layer of Lubriderm unscented lotion after 24 hours to keep the skin moisturized and aid the healing process.
• Avoid physical activities for a few days to prevent excessive sweating and friction on your new tattoo.
• Don't scratch or pick at your new tattoo, even if it itches, as this can damage the design and slow healing.

Following these steps is crucial for maintaining the quality of your tattoo and avoiding complications. At Alliance Tattoo in Toms River, NJ, we prioritize your safety and satisfaction, ensuring your tattoo heals beautifully and stays vibrant.
