Start with cleansing your tattoo throughly. Do it at least three times a day, using liquid antibacterial soap and lukewarm water. Do not use wash cloths but gently cleanse it with your clean hands only. Keep applying soap and rising until your down to squeaky clean skin but do not scrub your tattoo.
Pat dry with a clean towel then apply antibacterial ointment. Cover with a sterile bandage and tape securely as your new tattoo is an open wound now that can be a breeding ground for bacteria and infection.Cleanse it more frequently if you get sweaty or dirty.

Clothing will irritate a new tattoo therefore be sure to keep it bandaged. If bandages stick to the tattoo, soak it in cool water until the bandage lets go on its own. Do not pull it off and next time use more ointment.
As a tattoo heals, it may itch. Do not stratch or pick your tattoo. Once the tattoo flakes, discontinue use of the ointment and bandages, and use Eucerin lotion to keep the skin soft.
