Today, unfortunately, there are many tattoo artists who may not have the necessary training, since the tattoo industry has grown and, as also happens in other areas, self-taught tattooists and ultra-fast courses (which are usually called intensive). There, a very important part of the tattooing process is lost: the skin. Caring for a tattoo becomes a background for many tattooists today.
Being a tattoo artist almost 10 years ago, I have seen horrors: expanded lines, super irritated areas, infections, bulky tattoo healing … Things that, I must emphasize, are not normal. In most cases, it is not only due to perhaps a very aggressive treatment by the tattoo artist on very sensitive skin, but also to the fact that the “artist” did not know how to indicate adequate post tattoo care.
I would like to clarify that we all have different skins, some more sensitive than others, and that not always the care performed by one person will be effective in another. However, with my experience and studies, I have determined the most effective way to treat your tattoo to take care of both your ink and your health.
