The artist you choose is crucial to the final outcome. Their technique, ink quality, and hygiene practices are key factors. While we won’t delve into details here, it’s important to remember that selecting a skilled and reputable artist is the first step to a great tattoo.
30% Depends on Your Aftercare
How well you care for your tattoo is your responsibility. At Vadelma Tattoo, we emphasize the importance of aftercare during your session and offer plenty of information on our website about proper care. Here arre some of points of what you need to do:
- Avoid Heavy Activity: Refrain from activities that cause sweating or that might rub your tattoo against clothing or other surfaces.
- No Swimming: Stay out of pools, hot tubs, and oceans.
- Resist Scratching: If your tattoo itches, resist the urge to scratch, as this can damage the ink and prolong healing.
Preparing for your tattoo session is also crucial. Hydrate well, moisturize your skin (but not on the day of your session or the day before), eat a balanced diet, avoid sunburn, get plenty of sleep, and relax. These steps will not only help with your tattoo but also improve your overall well-being.
20% Depends on Other Factors
Other factors include your skin type and sensitivity. Here’s how different skin types can affect the healing process:
- Sensitive Skin: May experience more irritation and a longer healing time. Be extra cautious with aftercare and be gentle with new tattoo.
- Dry Skin: Can become flaky and tight. That’s why keep your skin well-hydrated with moisturizers and drink plenty of water.
- Normal/Combination Skin: Typically experiences a smoother healing process but still requires proper aftercare.
- Aging Skin: May have reduced elasticity and take longer to heal. Ensure proper hydration and take good, gentle care of Your tattoo.
Hydration and Nutrition: Maintaining good overall health, including proper hydration and a balanced diet, supports skin healing and affects the final appearance of your tattoo no matter Your skin type.
Lifestyle Choices: Avoid smoking and excessive alcohol consumption to improve healing outcomes.
