For many young people today, tattoos have become a way to decorate themselves, and people now no longer look at people with tattoos in a strange way. Of course, you still have to endure a lot of pain when getting a tattoo. The most important thing is that peeling will occur at the wound site after the tattoo. After that, you must pay attention to wound care, otherwise it will affect recovery, and it will also affect the beauty of the tattoo. The skin will usually fall off after a tattoo in about 10 days, but some people with special physical conditions may recover more slowly. Things to note after tattooing 1: After the tattoo operation, roll the ice pack on it for about 15 minutes. Ice pack can prevent the tattooed area from overheating and causing swelling, inflammation and infection. (If there is no ice pack, you can use frozen beverage cans or other ice cups instead). If there is still some redness and swelling on the second day, continue to use the ice pack method. 2. Use a sterilized wet wipe to clean the subcutaneous tissue fluid that has seeped out within 1-3 hours after the tattoo operation. If the tissue fluid is not removed in time, it will form a very thick scab after solidification and drying. The scab will gradually dry and absorb part of the pigment. The length of time for tissue fluid to penetrate is determined by the depth and density of the tattoo by the tattoo artist. If the tattoo is too much and too deep, the tissue fluid will penetrate for a long time. 3. Tattoos are considered skin trauma after the operation. According to medical treatment, skin trauma usually requires gauze to be applied. However, tattoos are special. The gauze will adhere to the epidermis during skin recovery, thus destroying the tattoo pattern. Therefore, we have two treatment methods: 1: After the tattoo operation, only skin disinfection + ice application + tissue cleaning fluid + air drying + taking anti-inflammatory drugs are performed. This method is suitable for those whose tattooed parts are exposed and their environment is relatively clean. 2: After the tattoo operation, disinfect the skin + wrap it with edible plastic wrap + apply ice + remove the plastic wrap to clean the tissue fluid after returning home + disinfect again + air dry + take anti-inflammatory drugs. This method is suitable for those who need to do things after the tattoo and the tattoo part is inside the body and clothes need to be worn outside. 4: You can take a shower immediately after the tattoo operation, but before taking a shower, apply anti-inflammatory ointment to the tattooed area to prevent water from penetrating into the tattooed area. The tattooed area cannot be cleaned with cleaning liquids and soap-related products. After taking a shower, remove the ointment in time, because if the ointment remains on the tattoo, there is no way to make it dry as quickly as possible. Drying as quickly as possible can form a very thin scab on the injured part. The thinner the scab, the better the tattoo color recovery. 5. Anti-inflammatory drugs should be taken according to the doctor's prescription after the tattoo operation. If you decide to use anti-inflammatory drugs, go to a medical institution for a skin test and let the doctor prescribe the drugs according to your physical condition. 6. After the tattoo operation, be careful not to expose the tattooed area to the scorching sun or engage in strenuous exercise, as this will cause the tattooed area to overheat and lead to inflammation and infection. You are also not allowed to take a sauna, bath, swim or dive, for the same reason as above. You should also exercise some restraint in drinking, eating spicy and allergenic foods, so that your skin can recover faster and better. 7. After the tattoo operation, the skin will feel itchy, dry and painful during the recovery period. The treatment method is: do not scratch when it itches, and use alcohol stimulation to relieve it. When the skin is dry and cracked, you can apply skin repair essence to relieve it. 8. After the tattoo is completed, it is normal for the wound to begin to scab on the second day without covering it, and the scab will fall off completely within seven days. (For some tattoos that are too deep and heavy or not well cared for, it may be delayed to 15 days). During the scabbing and scab-removing process, you should not consciously tear off the scab with your hands, as this will cause the tattoo to recover poorly and cause discoloration, which will destroy the overall beauty of the tattoo. It is normal for the tattoo to appear discolored and dull in color after seven days of normal scabbing. After 15-20 days, when the tattooed skin epidermis fully recovers, the color will return. 9. After the tattoo recovers, itching will occur and swelling will occur after scratching. Taking a hot bath or eating foods with allergens will also cause itching. That's because the pigment has not yet been accepted by the subcutaneous tissue under the skin. If there is mild rejection phenomenon, you don't need to pay attention to it or scratch it. Once the subcutaneous tissue accepts the foreign pigment components, the symptoms will disappear. |
