Natural Tattoo Aftercare: Tips & Helpful Products

Tattoos hold different meanings for different people. They can be an expression of our identities, a memento of someone or something we love, or even just a whimsical choice with no real forethought. Whatever your reasons for getting a tattoo, a crucial step in keeping it looking good over time is good tattoo aftercare. Not just any skincare will do! Smiling Woman With Tattoo on Arm Following Natural Tattoo Aftercare Tips While its always best to follow instructions provided by your tattoo artist, there are some things you can do to keep your skin healthy and to protect and preserve your tattoo. Even better? You can do it naturally, without resorting to harsh, chemical-based products.

Natural Tattoo Aftercare Basics

Research your artist and the parlor

The very first step to ensuring safety and quality is to research tattoo parlors and artists. You want to be sure the artist you choose is experienced, reputable and hygienic – after all, tattoo artists and work on a lot of skin.

Cleanse daily, dry heal and hydrate

After you get your tattoo, it’s important to alternate between cleansing, air drying and moisturizing.
  • Cleanse: Gently rinse your tattoo morning and evening with lukewarm water and a mild, natural soap – like Thayers Witch Hazel Aloe Vera Bar.
  • Air dry: Some opt for a ‘dry-healing’ method for the first few days after they get a tattoo, where no ointments are applied. This allows the skin and fresh scabbing to completely dry out between cleansing.
  • Moisturize: After cleansing, pat your skin dry (taking care to not rub away any scabbing), then gently apply a natural balm or ointment.
(Note: Your tattoo artist will likely instruct you to avoid soaking in a bathtub or swimming for the first few weeks while your tattoo heals.)

Apply all-natural ointments frequently

Whether you’ve let your tattoo "dry heal" or you’ve chosen the aftercare ointment method, it’s important to keep your skin hydrated for a few weeks while your tattoo heals. Apply a natural balm morning, evening and periodically throughout the day – especially if you live in a dry climate. The best natural tattoo balms contain simple, skin-healing ingredients, like unrefined oils and shea butter, and are free of harsh, artificial ingredients like fragrances, dyes, parabens, petrolatum, GMOs and synthetics.

Resist picking and scratching

The last thing you want to do is irritate healing skin after getting a tattoo. Though it will likely get itchy in the first few weeks, do not scratch your skin or pick off scabs. Not only will this potentially affect the look of your tattoo, but it can further damage skin and introduce bacteria into your healing wound. To alleviate itchiness, grab your all-natural balm and gently apply it to the area with your fingertips – not your nails.

Avoid the sun

The sun’s UV rays can cause a lot of damage to skin. While your tattoo is healing, it’s best to protect it from the sun entirely by wearing full-coverage, loose-fitting clothing. Once your tattoo is fully healed, you should always apply sunscreen with a high SPF over your tattoo to keep ink vibrant.

Wear loose-fitting clothing

Loose-fitting clothing will not only protect your tattoo from the sun’s harmful rays, but it will also allow your skin some breathability throughout the healing process. Tight-fitting clothing can irritate healing skin and also rub at the fresh ink from your tattoo – which can blur the definition and dull the color.

Drink your H20

Drinking enough water is critical for keeping your skin healthy and hydrated from the inside out. As the largest organ of the body, skin needs water to function properly -- including healing and maintaining flexibility. Be sure to sip water  throughout the day to stay properly nourished and help your skin heal to the best of its abilities.
