Do not put thee wrap back on it if you do it will not let it heal the way it should i got my 5th one on Saturday. And its on my back the wrap came off one hour after i got it. because it need the air to heal the way it should i know you are worried about it ripping open but it will not do that. Just when you get up make shore you clean it with dial soap and put the A&D on it you will be fine.

did u take a shower after your tattoo was done. my husband always suggests waiting 30 min. before taking a shower. rub the tattoo with the palm of your hands with a fragrance free soap to prevent irritation. after that, moisturize every 3-4 hours. never cover a tat. allow the tattooed area to breath normally. but don;t expose it too much to the sun and definitely do not get into any open water like pools or ocean water....good luck

You don't have to worry. Don't put ointment on. You can put non-scented/non-fragance lotion on your tat. BUT you should always keep your new tattoo clean, wash it with mild soap and dry it w/ a paper towel, don't rub just pat. When your tattoo is completely healed you have to apply either screenscreen or sunblock.

No do not cover it up with anything for the next 30 days. it needs air to heal. use a very thin layer of your ointment. clean your hands before you clean your tat. air dry or paper towel, not your bath towel. stay out of water (baths, lakes, pools etc) and away from sun for 30 days as well.

Do not wrap it back up! Just put a t-shirt on and you'll be fine. Follow the after care instructions your artist gave you and you should have no problems.

The best thing is to keep it coverd and moist for a couple of days, and try not to pick at it. My friend picked at hers at she ruined it. I would say leave it alone and keep it covered and you will be fine.

try to wrap it with plastic wrap, the one you use for protecting food. put it over the oitment. you'll be fine.
