Avoid staying up late the day before the tattoo, and don't fast on the day of the tattoo, as this will make you exhausted, uncomfortable or dizzy.


2. After the tattoo is completed, the tattoo artist will clean the tattoo, then apply tattoo repair cream to the tattoo, and then wrap the tattoo with plastic wrap after applying the tattoo repair cream. Wrapping the tattoo with plastic wrap is to protect the tattoo from airborne bacteria.


3.Remove the tattoo bandage after three hours. This time, including bathing and sleeping, it cannot be bandaged with plastic wrap, and the tattoo must be kept ventilated. Tattoos can get a quicker recovery.


4. remove the plastic wrap three hours later and rinse the tissue fluid left by the tattoo with clean water. Clean the pigment and blood. Do not use shower gel and soap to clean the tattoo area.
