Getting my third tattoo next week. My first one was nearly a decade ago now. This is one of the more comprehensive guides I've come across for aftercare. While I have two already and am familiar with the general process for healing, I've found it never hurts to refresh my knowledge beforehand and see if advice for care has changed.
I can see how that works for some people but it was too fast for me because I have ADHD. I had to rewind so much of it that I didn't even get to watch the whole thing, I just stopped. Although, from the information I did understand, it was helpful.

I got 40% of my body tattooed, I use baby lotion (no perfume) for my Long Term Tattoo aftercare. I've got a 22 year old tattoo that is still looking sharp up to now.
Great vid. Tip: start taking collagen supplements about a week before your tattoo and while it’s healing. Will keep skin elastic, healthy, and physically speeds ups the healing process. No one ever talks about collagen
thanks for this tip! i take collagen supplements for my joints anyways, so it's good to know im already doing something right towards a good healing process lol
Thank you for the tip! I have a 5-6 hour tattoo session next week and I’ve never heard this! Also my first tattoo so I’m absorbing the knowledge! Wouldn’t have thought that but makes total sense! Appreciate you!
In general, (as a doctor) I'd advise against using collagen supplements for anyone getting a tattoo or any surgical procedure, due to the increased risk of scar development. Some people may be prone to developing keloid scars, and taking collagen supplements can only make this worse. I've seen one individual who's new tattoo completely scarred up and was ruined. He was already prone to keloid scars, and had been taking a collagen supplement before, and after getting his tattoo. That aside, however, collagen is a great supplement that more people should consider taking.
The tattoo films are similar to wound dressings we use after surgery, so to make removal easier stretch the film while removing. You'll find it comes off easier than simply peeling it off.
although iam not an expert I beleive ( at least for my body) that the washing gently+ moisturising twice a day is the most important part of the healing . the rest is great if you do it but it's not going to damage your tatoo if you are clean . I may be wrong but that's what works with my body.
@@JudgeBreddUK yeah It took 35 minutes to get done hurt more then the first one. Not a lot of people have my tattoo just a couple people in each state. What is your tattoo if you don’t mind?
I'll be getting my first tattoo pretty soon and I'm hella nervous honestly. The aftercare is honestly what's scaring me the most. I'm just worried that I'll mess it up and that it will peel off or something and I definitely don't want that happening.
Try not to stress too much, I got extremely drunk a few days after a huge tattoo and fell and got tore up by branches of a tree. Cuts all over my tattoo a lot of dark blood. Didn’t peel or pull any ink from it, still healed just fine. So unless you plan on taking a chainsaw to it you’ll be fine
Just be gentle,heigenic and dont rub it. Pretend you are washing a newborn baby,scoop the water,soap gently,more water,blot dry,cream,but not too much.
Use silicone based lotions before and after your tattoo. I found ponds anti-aging cream in my pharmacy . It uses dimecone. Anything with -cone is silicone based.
My last 2 ended late evening and were one 8h session and the other was 2 consecutive days of 8 and 10h sessions each so i slept w the film and cleaned it thw morning, usually do that in general - atleast 5h, just know my skin well enough now. Regular film was used. And i cream twice a day but oh boy is it a layer 😅😅 but again - thats what works for me specificly. Also always put a lil on when i get an itch, thats an obv one
Very comprehensive guide, but what I actually came looking for was missing. My artist said to moisturize it 3-4 times a day, I wanted to check what others recommend on this and if I have to completely wash the tattoo 3-4 times a day everytime before I apply the cream anew (which I would.
@lufcbrice Ive been washing it 2-3 times a day (morning, afternoon, before bed) and I switched from the tattoo cream to unscented moisturizer earlier since I had a little reactive spot that was red. But it's been healing nicely now. I only wash it once a day now and put cream on when its dry. :)
Hey Jacob, I have two words tatted at the back of my elbow. I was sick for a few days and couldn't take care of the tattoo too much and now the peeling has started. I have just 2 small words " Be kind" so I hope I don't have to worry much about taking less care about it earlier.
Hello! size definitely matters, when it comes to taking care of your tattoo. So if you just take care of it from now on, you should be fine! :) Jacob - Team Sorry Mom
Got my first tattoo last week. My artist said I had really nice skin.. I've been watching alot of true crime serial killer shows and it must of shown on my face 🤣🤣 he then clarified that my skin was absorbing the ink well 🤣🤣💀
Hi guys, I use your balm for the healing process and I do the following: Keep the clear plastic for 2 hours, wash the tattoo area, dry it than apply Sorry Mom balm and just leave it to breathe. I do this for the next 10 days or sometimes depending on the area 11 or 12 days. After that I just use normal hydrating cream just to keep the skin from drying out. What do you think about this method? Or should I go with your film for the healing process? It would be much much easier for me to just use the film instead of the balm. Also another question: Balm or butter? Which is better for the healing process? Thanks
Hi Vlad :) Most of the customers that we are in contact with have experienced better results by keeping the tattoo film on the first 3-4 days. Then, after that period, they start their regular aftercare routine (wash + moisturize 2-4 times a day, depending on your skin) for 2 weeks. After those 2 weeks, to keep your skin hydrated and elastic, then they use the tattoo lotion, to make sure the tattoo is properly moisturized and looks fresh. Regarding the question about the balm and the butter: although the butter has proven to be super effective in the healing process, the balm was specifically developed for that purpose. Therefore, if you need something for the healing process exclusively, we'd say you should go for the balm. We hope this was helpful! :)
@@SorryMomTattoo Thanks , just what I thought and that is why I am going with your balm. After 10 days I found out that my tattoo is healed (with the exception of the knee area which is more delicate). After the days I think I will try the butter to just keep the skin elastic and from drying out. Anyways keep up the good work and the great products. Cheers
Some days ago, I got a big chest piece done and what I'd bring with me next time is a blanket. I start freezing when I'm in pain for a long period of time.
Hi I just got a tattoo on Wednesday so far everything looks good. Iam a massage therapist for how long can I wear the film to protect my tattoo since I am constantly in contact with people. My tattoo is in the front of my arm forearm
Could You please Recommend some long term tatto care lotions for making my tatto lookfresh and darker in the long run since I have got a tattoo done recently please Do recommend its Required Urgently!
Hi have some questions. I hope you can help me out. I just got my half sleeve 3.5 weeks ago. It looks like my tattoo is done peeling. Should I stop washing my tattoo with antibacterial soap? Or when should stop washing with antibacterial soap? Please let me know.
Hi, before I put my wrap to seal the tatoo should i put and ointment? or put on the fresh tattoo dry? ive been tattooing on practice skin for 3 months now
So I'm thinking about getting a tattoo for abiut 2-3 years. My father had one since I could remember it. And I tought maybe I should get one as well but I kinda can't decide on what to get I have multiple Ideas that would look killer. And I don't know if I could handle the pain expetially with needles I have quite a low pain tolerance. So I might try a smaller one with just an outline to see how it feels. And I might just get one this summer.
My tattoo artist gave me no aftercare instructions and wrapped the tattoo so badly that it fell off after an hour, I left it to dry that night I used cocoa butter. in the morning after sleeping it had a lot of blood and plasma so I washed it with lukewarm water and used cocoa butter 3 times the day after. Today is day 3 and I’m very worried I’ve used ointment too early. Should I now leave it to dry for 2 days before I use the cocoa butter again?
Hi guys! Thanks for the great video. Got my fist tattoo 14 days ago and it’s healing great. My question is, how many after can expose the tattoo to outdoor conditions: sun, rain, wind, dirt, etc.. Thanks!
Hello David! when your tattoo is healed you can start to expose it to most stuff, however sun is never great for the tattoo, so use as much protection as possible however after a month you can pretty much expose it to whatever. We recommend you keep it from salt/chlorine water for 3-6 months. Jacob - Team Sorry Mom ⚓
While cleaning shall we wash it with water.. my artist suggested not to let it be in contact with water for 10-15 days after the first wash after one hour of making the tatoo..plz answer
I just showered and removed the saniderm in the shower, cleaned it with the proper soap , now it’s clean and dry so I apply the cream? Or do I just put the new layer of saniderm
wash the tattoo twice per day using antibacterial cream or soap, after taking shower use a tissue not towel to dry it without scrubbing it then use an ointment. only cover the tattoo when you'll lie down on bed 🛌 to sleep. when you wake up, remove the cover immediately and let the tattoo to breathe
I just got my first tattoo today, it’s a small symbolic one on my wrist. She said the healing process would be at most 2-4 weeks. Any advice for aftercare regarding smaller and quick healing tattoos? Or does the same apply from this video? Thanks!
Congrats with the new ink! most aftercare advices apply to every tattoo :) just keep it clean, use a tattoo specific moisturiser and avoid wearing a watch/jewellery if its too tight. Other than that, you should be fine! Best regards Team Sorry Mom
I have a question. After the tattoo is healed completely, i know i have to mositurize it twice a day. But when the sun is too strong outside, do i use moisturizer or sunscreen or both. I mean, do i have to apply sunscreen on top of the moisturizer ? Please let me know. Thanks!
I just got my wrist tattoo yesterday and going to take the second skin off Tomorrow morning to clean it. What type of over the counter soap can I use that is safe for it?
Hello, after the 24 hour mark, is it okay to apply a small amount of A&D, then put the film over it? Or just leave it dry and apply the film? What do you recommend?
Hello Jawknee! We here at Sorry Mom does not have an extensive knowledge about A&D so I would rather not comment on their product. I recommend that you clean your tattoo and use neutral soap if you dont have a soap specific for tattoos. Then i would apply the film :) After a couple of days i would take the film off and start the aftercare routine. Remember to moisturize your tattoo with appropriate creams. // Jacob - Team Sorry Mom
I have just tried a aftercare called FADE THE ITCH- Amazing you only need to use clingfilm for a couple of hours. The product totally stopped the itching and didnt stick to my clothing
Hello Steve, we cannot vouch for "fade the itch" here on this channel, since we do not know the product. In fact we would strongly recommend to stay away from "miracle" products, if you choose to use it however. Make sure that it has the propper approvals and that its safe to use on a tattoo. Jacob - Team Sorry Mom
@@SorryMomTattoo I have many Tattoos and have tried countless aftercares - Fade the Itch is by far the best I have ever used - Stops the itching / No sticking to clothing. I purchased it from the UKs leading tattoo supplier Barber DTS. PS I am a Chemist and read labels, this product uses clinically proven ingredients.
We are well aware of Barber DTS, they also sell our aftercare products and is one of our most important partners :) We are glad to hear, that you had great success with "Fade the Itch". But as i said, we cannot as a company indorse products that we know nothing about. Jacob - Team Sorry Mom
What a great video atleast for me who just got a new tattoo. But i have a question if u dont mind to answer this, i asked my tattoo artist bout what am i supposed to do next when im taking off the plastic cover for the tattoo, and he said that i dont have to do amything after taking off the cover. I just got this tattoo this day on my tricep. Thankss
Hello and thanks for the great words! sorry for the late answer. However it depends if its tattoo film or cling film. However you should just keep your tattoo clean and follow a aftercare rutine :) Jacob - Team Sorry Mom⚓
I got very bad advice from the tattoo studio i went to. they told me to take off the wrap after 2 hours and apply the healing cream 4 times a day. I'm very glad i checked out a video because it felt a little odd. Im on the day after getting my tattoo, I have now cleaned and applied cream like you stated in your video. should i use plastic wrap more? and for how long? thanks in advance
Hello! The clingfilm/plastic wrap is only useful for your tattoo til and from the artist. Some people use the wrap while they sleep to avoid getting the excess ink and blood on their bed but other than that, you should not use it. Unless you are talking about Tattoo film :) Jacob - Team Sorry Mom⚓
I usually take the cling wrap off right after i get home, wash it gently, pat dry with clean paper towels, (twice a day) and add my tattoo balm, and keep doing that till the swelling goes down and it’s now so raw, after about 2 or 3 days after i wash i let it air dry for about 30, mins then i add my balm so that way the tattoo has time to breathe and start to go through the “crusty” stage while i let it air dry, and then again like i said, still adding balm until it’s mostly all healed on top then i add my unscented, sensitive skin lotion on it to keep it from scabbing and only just peeling like it should
Hey Tayler, It seems like you got your aftercare rutine down :) Normally we tell people to wait a day or two, before start using the balm so the skin can beathe and be completly done bleeding. Jacob - Team Sorry Mom
And after how much time should we not use film anymore. Im doing it 5 of november and I will stay at home on vacations until 14 november. You think 1 week out I should wear it to work?
Hello Hannah, Congratulations on your new tattoo! The rain is not bad for your tattoo, but try to wear loose cloths to cover the tattoo, wash it every couple of hour, with the right products and you should be good. Jacob - Team Sorry Mom
I got my tattoo last Wednesday. My skin is good and well moisturized bcs my habit is put body butter after shower. I can feel the itchiness which is so tempting to scratch, but thanks to the cream prevents me from doing so. I want to get more tattoos in the future 😂
Hi Ricco :) The first 24h you have the bandage on, it's best to have the film only. However, once you apply a new bandage (which you will have for 3-4 days) we recommend applying a thin layer of balm/moisturizer. This will keep the area properly moisturized during the first days of healing. If you have more questions, feel free to leave a comment or check out the full guide here: sorrymomshop.com/blogs/aftercare/tattoo-aftercare-instructions Good Easter!
@@riccomunoz2501 We would definitely recommend using products specifically designed for tattoo healing, like the Sorry Mom Tattoo Balm or the Process Butter. However, if you don't have that possibility and you are in doubt about other products, you can use the film without applying any moisturizing products.
Hey guys.. i got my tattoo on Tuesday kept the regular foil on for 2 hrs I took it off washed the tattoo and moisturized it with the tattoo balm… the next day I washed it again and I put the balm again… the same day I want back to my tattoo place they cleaned it and put the tattoo film on and told me to have that on for 7-10 days after that to start the cleaning process and healing… so my question is it’s been 4 day since they put the tattoo film can I take it off and start the healing process?
I just got a tattoo and the new type of film he put on it bubbled up..a bit of water got inside the film..Should I take it off and moisturize the tattoo and put old school wrap on it?
Day 5+ do you clean and moisturizer twice a day? If it seems dry, more? I feel like mine needs to be a little dry to heal but I still want it to be hydrated.
Hey Ali, you have to put on a thin layer of moisturizer between 2-5 times a day, depending on where you live, your skintype etc. You should wash your tattoo before applying lotion/balm every time. Its not a bad idea to let the tattoo dry out a bit, but you need to be on top of it and dont let it dry out to much. Jacob - Sorry Mom
Hey can anyone give me some tips about what to expect for getting a tattoo? I mean I know it's going to hurt, I know I’m going to be nervous but can you tell what else to expect please?
Hello Aiden, most people overthink the first tattoo and yes its going to hurt, some places more than others :) However, eat before you go there, bring snacks/something to drink, bring something to watch on your phone or talk with the artist. I hope this was useful because in the end, its not that bad (most places) but thats it! Best regards - Jacob Team Sorry Mom
Hello, got my second tattoo exacly 1 week ago. Some days I used more of a cold water than lukewarm water. Is this bad for my healing process? Now I'm only using lukewarm water to wash it.
Thanks for my first tattoo! I got a small ankle tattoo and it’s been 2 weeks. When can I start to do yoga again? Because it may rub the tattoo on the floor.
How many times a day should u moisturize? I just got a tattoo 5 days ago and I dont want to over or under moisturize. The tattoo is hard to reach cus its on my upper back and spine
I've just got an armband tattoo yesterday. They've put a saniderm patch on it and told me to let it sit up to 10 days. Do I just leave it there or take it up like in 5-7days? It's my first time getting a tattoo.

Stupid Question I have the wrap on and leaving it for 24 hours then washing it
Before I put the second wrap on for 2 days should I add lotion or what?
@@MrJamesdeel why are you putting a second wrap on it?
Congratulations, you will get more, one won't be enough 😂
All 4 of my tats I've immediately removed the rap, washed it and moisturized, after 2 weeks I let it dry and all of mine look great.
The tattoo films are similar to wound dressings we use after surgery, so to make removal easier stretch the film while removing. You'll find it comes off easier than simply peeling it off.
Its just IV film. As a nurse the first tattoo I got when they broke out that film I was like woah!

for tips before getting a tattoo i think it's really important to shave the part your gonna get the tattoo.. makes it easier for the barber
The snack thing isn’t a joke. Had my tatt done yesterday and I passed out😂
true, had one done without any drinks or food and nearly passed out too.
No it is not :P We have all been there, snacks and drinks are super important :)

lOVE THIS VIDEO, HOW DO YOU KNOW IF YOU WERE CUT AND HOW DO YOU CARE FOR THAT ON A HEALING TATTOO.
My Ink master snack of choice with starburst any kind. 😂❤
Hi have some questions. I hope you can help me out. I just got my half sleeve 3.5 weeks ago. It looks like my tattoo is done peeling. Should I stop washing my tattoo with antibacterial soap? Or when should stop washing with antibacterial soap? Please let me know.
Hi, before I put my wrap to seal the tatoo should i put and ointment? or put on the fresh tattoo dry? ive been tattooing on practice skin for 3 months now
So I'm thinking about getting a tattoo for abiut 2-3 years. My father had one since I could remember it. And I tought maybe I should get one as well but I kinda can't decide on what to get I have multiple Ideas that would look killer. And I don't know if I could handle the pain expetially with needles I have quite a low pain tolerance. So I might try a smaller one with just an outline to see how it feels. And I might just get one this summer.
Good luck with it, if you end up getting it done!
The pain is not as bad as you fear, but you can be smart about placement etc.
Great video! Thank you!
Briefly basic and great video,now thanks 👍
Thank you Melis, we do our best! :)
When apply the film for the second time, should I add after care before putting it on? Thanks
My tattoo artist gave me no aftercare instructions and wrapped the tattoo so badly that it fell off after an hour, I left it to dry that night I used cocoa butter. in the morning after sleeping it had a lot of blood and plasma so I washed it with lukewarm water and used cocoa butter 3 times the day after. Today is day 3 and I’m very worried I’ve used ointment too early. Should I now leave it to dry for 2 days before I use the cocoa butter again?
Brilliant easy to follow guide...thank you
Watching this in the shower. I resklu kple thr oatt diejn I isiuns siakkand akallakd. Tjnx!
after we take off the second wrap, do we need to wrap again and also after those two to three days how often do we wash and moisturize?
Hi guys! Thanks for the great video. Got my fist tattoo 14 days ago and it’s healing great. My question is, how many after can expose the tattoo to outdoor conditions: sun, rain, wind, dirt, etc..
Thanks!
Hello David! when your tattoo is healed you can start to expose it to most stuff, however sun is never great for the tattoo, so use as much protection as possible however after a month you can pretty much expose it to whatever. We recommend you keep it from salt/chlorine water for 3-6 months. Jacob - Team Sorry Mom ⚓
@@SorryMomTattoo thanks guys! So no pool for 3-6 months?
While cleaning shall we wash it with water.. my artist suggested not to let it be in contact with water for 10-15 days after the first wash after one hour of making the tatoo..plz answer
I just showered and removed the saniderm in the shower, cleaned it with the proper soap , now it’s clean and dry so I apply the cream? Or do I just put the new layer of saniderm
I’ve broke a lot of these rules and my tattoos came out great
Same
wash the tattoo twice per day using antibacterial cream or soap, after taking shower use a tissue not towel to dry it without scrubbing it then use an ointment. only cover the tattoo when you'll lie down on bed 🛌 to sleep. when you wake up, remove the cover immediately and let the tattoo to breathe
I just got my first tattoo today, it’s a small symbolic one on my wrist. She said the healing process would be at most 2-4 weeks. Any advice for aftercare regarding smaller and quick healing tattoos? Or does the same apply from this video? Thanks!
Congrats with the new ink! most aftercare advices apply to every tattoo :) just keep it clean, use a tattoo specific moisturiser and avoid wearing a watch/jewellery if its too tight. Other than that, you should be fine! Best regards Team Sorry Mom
@@SorryMomTattoo thank you! i notice the skin is quite bumpy under the tattoo, is this normal?
@@pogmothoinriiii yes
@@jamieh1883 thank you but it’s been 2 months lol

Lol.. I love the name of this channel!! 😅😁
Glad you enjoy it!
Can I use this Bepanthen Nappy care Ointment cream daily after done Tattoo
I have a question. After the tattoo is healed completely, i know i have to mositurize it twice a day. But when the sun is too strong outside, do i use moisturizer or sunscreen or both. I mean, do i have to apply sunscreen on top of the moisturizer ? Please let me know. Thanks!
Just use the sunscreen when you're exposing your tattoo to the sun. End of day I'd recommend using the tattoo lotion.
Yey yesterday I just got my new tsa-tsuuu
How long does it take to completely blend with the skin? I got it 17-18 days back. It is only partially blended with the skin. I am lil worried
Thank you for the information could you please tell me where could I get the stuff that you use
Yo Brandon! You can buy it all on www.sorrymomshop.com
I just got my wrist tattoo yesterday and going to take the second skin off Tomorrow morning to clean it. What type of over the counter soap can I use that is safe for it?
So how long do I use the cling film for like how many days and what time of days
Hello, after the 24 hour mark, is it okay to apply a small amount of A&D, then put the film over it? Or just leave it dry and apply the film? What do you recommend?
Hello Jawknee! We here at Sorry Mom does not have an extensive knowledge about A&D so I would rather not comment on their product. I recommend that you clean your tattoo and use neutral soap if you dont have a soap specific for tattoos. Then i would apply the film :) After a couple of days i would take the film off and start the aftercare routine. Remember to moisturize your tattoo with appropriate creams. // Jacob - Team Sorry Mom
@@SorryMomTattooso I keep the film on for four days then take it off wash it and moisturize it?
very helpful friend i just got my first one
You truly don’t need “tattoo lotion”, after the first 2 weeks you can use any body lotion, Dove, Nivea etc…
I have just tried a aftercare called FADE THE ITCH- Amazing you only need to use clingfilm for a couple of hours. The product totally stopped the itching and didnt stick to my clothing
Hello Steve, we cannot vouch for "fade the itch" here on this channel, since we do not know the product. In fact we would strongly recommend to stay away from "miracle" products, if you choose to use it however. Make sure that it has the propper approvals and that its safe to use on a tattoo. Jacob - Team Sorry Mom
@@SorryMomTattoo I have many Tattoos and have tried countless aftercares - Fade the Itch is by far the best I have ever used - Stops the itching / No sticking to clothing. I purchased it from the UKs leading tattoo supplier Barber DTS. PS I am a Chemist and read labels, this product uses clinically proven ingredients.
We are well aware of Barber DTS, they also sell our aftercare products and is one of our most important partners :) We are glad to hear, that you had great success with "Fade the Itch". But as i said, we cannot as a company indorse products that we know nothing about. Jacob - Team Sorry Mom
@@SorryMomTattoo Cheers Jacob
So leave the tattoo film on for 2-3 days after the tattoo is done, only then take it off?
Thank you for sharing ❤
Thank you!
What a great video atleast for me who just got a new tattoo. But i have a question if u dont mind to answer this, i asked my tattoo artist bout what am i supposed to do next when im taking off the plastic cover for the tattoo, and he said that i dont have to do amything after taking off the cover. I just got this tattoo this day on my tricep. Thankss
Hello and thanks for the great words! sorry for the late answer. However it depends if its tattoo film or cling film. However you should just keep your tattoo clean and follow a aftercare rutine :) Jacob - Team Sorry Mom⚓
Love the 4oceans bracelet mate. Great vid
Preventology Colloidal Silver First Aid Gel is the best tattoo aftercare..
This was the first video i've watched from you guys. So here's my comment: Sorry Mom Tattoo Aftercare!
I got very bad advice from the tattoo studio i went to. they told me to take off the wrap after 2 hours and apply the healing cream 4 times a day. I'm very glad i checked out a video because it felt a little odd. Im on the day after getting my tattoo, I have now cleaned and applied cream like you stated in your video. should i use plastic wrap more? and for how long?
thanks in advance
Hello! The clingfilm/plastic wrap is only useful for your tattoo til and from the artist. Some people use the wrap while they sleep to avoid getting the excess ink and blood on their bed but other than that, you should not use it. Unless you are talking about Tattoo film :) Jacob - Team Sorry Mom⚓
@@SorryMomTattoo thanks for the answer. ended up only using it during sleep for the sake of my wife
I love the way this guy talks so much. It's so mesmerizing
Thanks, you can subscribe for more ;) Jacob - Team Sorry Mom
But my tattoo is under my sleeves, how do I go about that?
I usually take the cling wrap off right after i get home, wash it gently, pat dry with clean paper towels, (twice a day) and add my tattoo balm, and keep doing that till the swelling goes down and it’s now so raw, after about 2 or 3 days after i wash i let it air dry for about 30, mins then i add my balm so that way the tattoo has time to breathe and start to go through the “crusty” stage while i let it air dry, and then again like i said, still adding balm until it’s mostly all healed on top then i add my unscented, sensitive skin lotion on it to keep it from scabbing and only just peeling like it should
Hey Tayler, It seems like you got your aftercare rutine down :) Normally we tell people to wait a day or two, before start using the balm so the skin can beathe and be completly done bleeding. Jacob - Team Sorry Mom
Is aquascream recomended to appy for after care
Can i play soccer on the 4th day while i am still wearing the saniderm? Or should i remove it or i shouldnt play at all?
Nice advice ❤
im really interested to take similar tattoo what you have in this video. can i get some more pictures of it somehow?
And after how much time should we not use film anymore. Im doing it 5 of november and I will stay at home on vacations until 14 november. You think 1 week out I should wear it to work?
Sorry mom tattoos😂😂love it
We love you ⚓
I just got my tattoo. I work in a grocery store and I have to go outside a lot to get carts (sometimes in the rain) what can I do to protect my tattoo
Hello Hannah, Congratulations on your new tattoo! The rain is not bad for your tattoo, but try to wear loose cloths to cover the tattoo, wash it every couple of hour, with the right products and you should be good. Jacob - Team Sorry Mom
I got my tattoo last Wednesday. My skin is good and well moisturized bcs my habit is put body butter after shower. I can feel the itchiness which is so tempting to scratch, but thanks to the cream prevents me from doing so. I want to get more tattoos in the future 😂
Kan man egentlig anvende medicinsk honning? Til healings processen?
Should I apply anything like a balm or moisturizer before the film or is the film by itself fine ?
Hi Ricco :)
The first 24h you have the bandage on, it's best to have the film only. However, once you apply a new bandage (which you will have for 3-4 days) we recommend applying a thin layer of balm/moisturizer. This will keep the area properly moisturized during the first days of healing.
If you have more questions, feel free to leave a comment or check out the full guide here: sorrymomshop.com/blogs/aftercare/tattoo-aftercare-instructions
Good Easter!
@@SorryMomTattoo would aquaphor considered a balm or a moisturizer that would be safe under the film
@@riccomunoz2501 We would definitely recommend using products specifically designed for tattoo healing, like the Sorry Mom Tattoo Balm or the Process Butter. However, if you don't have that possibility and you are in doubt about other products, you can use the film without applying any moisturizing products.
During the healing process, how many times are day is generally recommended for you to wash and moisturize?
Hello Speedy! 3-5 depending on your skin type, the climate you live in and your line of work. Jacob - Team Sorry Mom ⚓
I have a few tattoo today and it wasn't covered up.is that a bad thing? I went to a shop
Hey guys.. i got my tattoo on Tuesday kept the regular foil on for 2 hrs I took it off washed the tattoo and moisturized it with the tattoo balm… the next day I washed it again and I put the balm again… the same day I want back to my tattoo place they cleaned it and put the tattoo film on and told me to have that on for 7-10 days after that to start the cleaning process and healing… so my question is it’s been 4 day since they put the tattoo film can I take it off and start the healing process?
I just got a tattoo and the new type of film he put on it bubbled up..a bit of water got inside the film..Should I take it off and moisturize the tattoo and put old school wrap on it?
If i have the aveeno fragrance free body lotion is that ok to apply after the tattoo balm?
If the tattoo is fresh and new, use the tattoo balm on the tattooed area, and the body lotion on the rest of your body.
Day 5+ do you clean and moisturizer twice a day? If it seems dry, more? I feel like mine needs to be a little dry to heal but I still want it to be hydrated.
Hey Ali, you have to put on a thin layer of moisturizer between 2-5 times a day, depending on where you live, your skintype etc. You should wash your tattoo before applying lotion/balm every time. Its not a bad idea to let the tattoo dry out a bit, but you need to be on top of it and dont let it dry out to much. Jacob - Sorry Mom
Do you have to apply mousturiser on the tattoo before putting that second skin on
No! Make sure that the tattoo is clean and completely dry before you apply the Tattoo Film on it.
I had 45 minutes of sleep before going for my first tattoo yesterday lol
Hey can anyone give me some tips about what to expect for getting a tattoo? I mean I know it's going to hurt, I know I’m going to be nervous but can you tell what else to expect please?
Hello Aiden, most people overthink the first tattoo and yes its going to hurt, some places more than others :) However, eat before you go there, bring snacks/something to drink, bring something to watch on your phone or talk with the artist. I hope this was useful because in the end, its not that bad (most places) but thats it! Best regards - Jacob Team Sorry Mom
I love the way he says tattuu more that idea of getting one now 😭
Hello, got my second tattoo exacly 1 week ago. Some days I used more of a cold water than lukewarm water. Is this bad for my healing process? Now I'm only using lukewarm water to wash it.
Don't worry! Your tattoo will be fine. It's better using cold water than boiling water :-)
love your red rose tattoo so bright vibrant
Thank you Brian!
Thanks for my first tattoo! I got a small ankle tattoo and it’s been 2 weeks. When can I start to do yoga again? Because it may rub the tattoo on the floor.
Hello Savannah, wait a week or so and then you should be fine! Jaocb - Team Sorry Mom
I’m confused. For 2nd day reapplication, should I moisturize before placing new film on?
No, no make sure the tattoo is clean and completely dry before you apply new film
How many times a day should u moisturize? I just got a tattoo 5 days ago and I dont want to over or under moisturize. The tattoo is hard to reach cus its on my upper back and spine
I've just got an armband tattoo yesterday. They've put a saniderm patch on it and told me to let it sit up to 10 days. Do I just leave it there or take it up like in 5-7days? It's my first time getting a tattoo.
