Everything You Need To Know For Tattoo Healing

After your initial cleaning, apply a hot washcloth compress for a full 20-25 minutes. This can be done by standing under your shower head and running hot (as you can stand) water over a rag on your tattoo, or outside the shower as long as you are reheating the compress throughout the 20-25 minutes.  Do this hot compress for the first night ONLY. -Soaking the tattoo after this initial hot compress is not recommended, and showers should be kept brief.
