If so, it is necessary to analyze the existing symptoms and apply a specific treatment.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2. <strong>When there are no scabs left to fall off, stop using the healing cream and start applying natural vegetable oil or moisturizing cream for healing skin.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The tattoo will finish peeling depending on size, location and style.<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are linear tattoos that have no more scabs after three days and other larger or filled tattoos that may take more than a week.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>If there are only a few scabs left to fall off, you could give the healing cream only once or twice a day. <\/strong>and start introducing oil when your skin feels very tight or itchy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>When there are no more scabs to fall off, stop using the healing cream and moisturize the tattoo with oil only.<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can apply it several times a day if you want, in very small quantities, always avoiding smearing the wound.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>As for the type of oil, I recommend extra virgin, coconut or olive oil, as they are effective, easy to obtain and economical.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you prefer, you can use moisturizing repair cream (suitable for healing skin) instead of natural vegetable oil.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">3. <strong>Touches the tattoo only to make the cures&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If everything has gone well in the first few days, most of the tattoo scabs will have fallen off naturally, sometimes<strong> there are still some scabs and it is not advisable to pull them out.<\/strong>let them fall off by themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>In these days the tattoo usually causes more itching<\/strong> and you have to be strong to <strong>do not scratch it<\/strong>. Proper hydration will alleviate this sensation and also works to lower the temperature of the tattoo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To lower the temperature of the tattoo, you can apply cold to the tattoo area with an ice pack, use a fan, air conditioning, or simply go to a cooler room. <strong>If you use ice packs, make sure they are properly cleaned and do not overdo the application time.<\/strong>The idea is to cool the tattoo site without damaging the skin.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cover alignwide is-light has-custom-content-position is-position-center-left\" style=\"min-height:64px;aspect-ratio:unset;\"><span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-cover__background has-background-dim-100 has-background-dim\" style=\"background-color:#ecd078\"><\/span><div class=\"wp-block-cover__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-cover-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-size:26px\"><strong><strong>  <strong>Day 8 to Day 40 after getting a tattoo<\/strong>  <\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-default wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>If you have not yet done so, stop using the healing cream.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Between the eighth and tenth day after getting a tattoo, most commercially available healing creams should be discontinued. You will find more information about this in the cream's package insert.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are a few healing creams that are more natural and could extend the use, but when in doubt, stop using it, even if there are still scabs to fall off.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2. <strong>Continue to take care of your tattoo hydration<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although the tattoos may look quite healed after a week, full healing will be complete in most cases within 30 to 40 days after the tattoo is done and this is why it is important to be disciplined with hydration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I recommend continuing to moisturize with natural vegetable oil, but <strong>from day 14 you could moisturize it with a normal cream.<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">3. <strong>Show your healed tattoo to your tattooist<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After 30 to 40 days after tattooing, the tattoo takes on the appearance it will have for years to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>This is the time to find out if the tattoo needs to be reworked and make an appointment to have it done, if necessary.<\/strong>. To do so, send a good photo of your tattoo to your tattoo artist, or stop by the store to show it in person.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Normally you will have a free revision if you need it, if you contact the tattooist 30 to 40 days after getting a tattoo. There is no justification for a small revision of the tattoo if you present yourself 6 months later, because if you do so, there will be a difference in pigmentation that will last for many months.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-default\">\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-4fc3f8e1 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-preguntas-relacionadas\">Related questions:&nbsp;<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"is-style-default wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/carolidilli.tattoo\/en\/que-no-debo-hacer-durante-la-cicatrizacion-de-un-tatuaje\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/carolidilli.tattoo\/que-no-debo-hacer-durante-la-cicatrizacion-de-un-tatuaje\/\">What should I not do if I have a new tattoo?<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/carolidilli.tattoo\/en\/que-necesito-tener-o-comprar-para-la-curacion-del-tatuaje\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/carolidilli.tattoo\/que-necesito-tener-o-comprar-para-la-curacion-del-tatuaje\/\">What do I need to have for tattoo healing?<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/carolidilli.tattoo\/en\/como-lavar-y-secar-un-tattoo-recien-hecho\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/carolidilli.tattoo\/como-lavar-y-secar-un-tattoo-recien-hecho\/\">How to properly wash and dry a tattoo during the first days of healing?<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-default\">","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to take care of a healing tattoo?
