foot tattoo....?

Question

i've had my tattoo for like 15 days. do i still need to keep lotion on it 3 times a day and no shoes and socks?

Answer 1

15 days out you should be okay to wear shoes and socks as long as it isn't painful. if you are still peeling at all then you should keep putting lotion on it multiple times a day. if you're finished peeling then you should just moisturize it like you do the rest of your body.

Answer 2

As long as its not peeling or still rough feel free to wear shoes and socks. But if its still rough then wait a few more days or until its pretty smooth. Keep putting the lotion on all the time though. It will keep the ink looking bright, detailed, and fresh. And especially since its on the foot which is prone to fading since so much skin get shed there, definately put lotion on it whenever you think about it forever. It will help save the life of your tattoo! Good luck!

Answer 3

Continue with the lotion, but taper it down to once a day after your shower in about 2 weeks. The foot is normally drier than the softer parts of the body, so putting some lotion on it will give t the extra gloss.

Answer 4

You can always use the lotion on your foot,so you may as well go ahead with it.I think 15 days is enough,but you need to call and ask the place where you rec'd the tattoo..

Answer 5

its always good to rub a lotion on your tattoos anyways, it helps keep them moist and if u use the right kind can help kepp the colors vibrant. especially in the sun, u should use sunblock lotion on ur tats cause the sun can ruin a tattoo.

Answer 6

if it is still peeling i would avoid shoes and keep it moisturised.
