I got a tattoo a few days ago and was told to clean it with antibacterial, fragrance free soap. I have fragrance free antiseptic wash (Band-Aid Hurt Free Antiseptic Wash) and was wondering if that could be used to clean my tattoo or if I'm harming the tattoo by using it. It says it can be used as a substitute for soap and water on minor skin injuries.Can I use antiseptic wash to clean my tattoo?
How to care for a tattoo:
1) buy antibacterial soap such as dial (liquid is best)
2) wash it by hand 2 to 3 times a day with warm water and pat it dry (no towels, loofas or sponges)
3) get unscented lotion ( aquafor, cetaphil) and apply thin coat after washing it
4) keep clothes from rubbing against it alot for the first 5 days
5) always put sun tan lotion on it when in the sun
6) any other concerns or questions consult the tattoo artist
dont use anything else either...
