On day 7 of mine in the same spot. It looked so sick the first couple of days but it looks so faded now and like I’ll need a touch up. Looks like yours did the same though and the color came back. This video really put my mind at ease, thank you.
They make cream to put on them to moisturize them and make it heal a lil faster some tattoo artist recommended using tattoo creams to keep it moisturized
Thank you. 13 days till my first hand tattoo. Took 8 days off from work for this one. I work in the ER, so this is gonna be interesting when I get back.
@drewwithguns I think he meant interesting as its not a common sight for the medical field to have hand tattoos. Especially ones that cover the whole hand.
Appreciate it, thank you so much - I'm excited with your octopus tattoo and for sure it'll turn out amazing. I love your idea with your design as well, its gonna be a perfect art on your hand. 👌🏽
Im dry healing my hand tattoo (big black cog) and working (in Healthcare). I got it Wednesday and its Saturday. Still a bit swollen and dry af so painful to move... its been my only painful tattoo experience 😂😂😂😂 but it took a half hour so i knew it would take a hot minute to heal.
Ur a champ for not using any tattoo product, just dry healing. I'm on day 3 of my hand blasted and it's starting to get itchy. I did a lil neck tat at the same time and it's not even close to itchy so weird how diff body parts heal
He's a champ for using a method that takes 3 times longer to heal, doesn't support potential recovery and greatly increases the risk of parts fading away or falling out? :) Not quite... Saniderm + good aftercare products will heal your tattoo (superficially) in 1-2 weeks, without scabbing or excessive flaking.
My artist told me not to get it wet for very long at all . Wet it when you wash it otherwise keep it out of water or it will fade and slow the healing process
Yeah I kept it out of water as much as I could. I only wet it with running water when it began to feel itchy just to moisturize it. But no need to worry, I do not keep it wet for a very long time. Maybe for like more or less 30 seconds. Thank you so much.
That turned out good, I have a 14 day old tattoo in the same place but some small parts in the side are already faded I'm planning to have a touch up once it's fully healed and I will try your method 😁
@@Sebastian-ee6sv mine is still looking good,some little parts in the side faded due to me peeling it a little early when I first got it. My suggestion is don't leave it too long in water and just dab with tissue or towel.
Your day 6 looks exactly like my day 6(today) 😭 I am so worried the scabs peeling off on it’s own and my new tat literally looking faded at some of the spots the scabs came off on it’s own 💀
No worries, its totally fine when scabs came off naturally. Allow it to fully healed as it changes from time to time during the healing process. Sorry if I replied kinda late, and I am pretty sure that its completely healed by now. May I ask if your tattoo fade or did it recover to your satisfaction of boldness?
i have getting my hands tattoed like 4 times and still i can't get the right healing method even tho my last tattoo artist is the best i have came across so far but still this last hand piece is fading colors :(
I get mine in November and I know my skin can go quite dry in the winter so I’ll be sat at the sink all day!😄No but seriously thank you for the tips mate, really helpful! :)
How do avoid rubbing against objects? I assume since we use our hands everyday it’ll be a problem because our hands touch everything all the time? I’m going to get my first hand tattoo next week and want to avoid this!
hey how did ur hand tat go? i got mine about 2-3 weeks ago and its really faded around my knuckles n my finger tat is basically gone like the wind dissapeared lol but its ok it was just a heart shaped arrow on my finger anyways
@@yopierre7543 top of the wrist? I recently got a tattoo coming from wrist top of the wrist to my forearm i didn’t think anything of it, the top part of my forearm near the crease fucking hurt tho 😂
Noo way man! I can't imagine "dry healing" my hand tattoo!! Interesting video though for sure bro hope it came out how you wanted! I use Hustle Butter man all organic stuff. Interesting video bro.
Thank you bro. So far i'm proud of myself that i was able to handled it perfectly without using any products and I am very happy how it turn out as well.
Hi @@griw8624 , i never tried using any products and thats because i'm worried that it'll fade out. Also i'm not professional when it comes to tattoo but base on my experience, it matters where you place your tattoo on your skin. Moreover, when it heals allow the flakes to fall by itself naturally and be very careful not to scratch it when it feel itchy. Sometimes tattoos will fade when the peeling is being forced or accidentally being peeled especially when you're asleep. No worries, some fade tattoo looks good at some point but if you're into bold and dark tattoos like me-try not to use any products and wash it with clean running water only the next time you get a new tattoo soon. Let me know how it goes 😊😊 Thank you 😉
GriW yeah idk how much I like Hustle Butter tbh its such a thick consistency it seems kinda rough on new tattoos. I get my hand finished today actually and I’m just gonna stick to A+D for the first week or two then use Hustle Butter after maybe idek ima ask my artist his opinion too ill lyk man 👊🏽
I just did my Mandala hand tattoo 5 days ago and still on the healing process. Other people say its like a gross black dry skin and doesnt look like a tattoo. I hope healing process will take soon so I wont receive any discrimination.
That's totally fine, mandala tattoos are normally dark and bold. Do not mind people who try to discriminate it, we all have opinions and I am sure it'll heal perfectly.
Hello 😊 That's true, i still used Alcohol/Sanitizer but I was too careful not to include the tattoed area. It only got wet with clean running water for about 4 weeks. GOOD THING as well is that i'm staying at home during the healing process so i don't need to move a lot. ☺️
Just got a tattoo like a week and a half ago and trying this method out and it’s peeling but is looking faded is it normal it’s not fully healed though yet
With my tattoos, there are a lot of moment during the healing process where I felt that my tattoos are lighter that is because it changes from time to time. Also it always depend what type of tattoos you got as well as the style of the artist of how he/she did it. Anyway, I am sure its fully healed by now as I replied this experience of mine to you. May I ask, hows your tattoo right now?
I came here for advice on how to care for a hand tattoo, cz I have pretty thick crust since more than 1 week. I hope it will fall off naturally as suggested here. 🥺
I run it for about a minute just to keep it moisturized and I'm doing this when it feel itchy only. However when taking a bath the tattoo got wet for more than 10 minutes.
I’m a scaffolder and I’m always using my hands I’m planning on getting all my fingers done and my hand also What would you recommend using to keep the dirt off it while it’s healing
That must be difficult as you will be using your hand a lot. For me, I recommend taking a vacation leave from work just to ensure that your tattoos will heal properly. If not, and if you really love to get your hand tatted then go for it. With that, you can wear a sanitized gloves but you also have to make sure that your hands will breath. However, there is a chance that your tattoos will fade and that's fine. Most tattoo artist will do a free retouch of the tattoos they do it. ☺
No I thank you for watching my simple video @@ideapap1 😊😃 Christmas break would be a great idea. Let me know how it goes once you got them. Stay safe wherever you are.👌🏽
Did you feel like the sharpness in the peice faded when all the skin flaked off like paint chips? I'm on my 4th day of healing and it's starting to peel and it saddens me 😔 it looked so fresh now it needs touch ups 😆 atleast those are free 🤷🏽♂️ I was worried then when I seen your hand cracking yet turning out ok.... I feel better. Thank you for sharing this experience with us. ❤️
Aye I was wondering Im getting a hand tattoo but still gotta work and use my hands, you think I’ll still be able to work or would it hurt or make the healing process longer?
Hi there,I'm glad that you're planning to get one too. For me, it'll depend on your job. If you will be using your hand a lot I do not recommend getting it yet. But if you can file a day off leave from your work for about 2 weeks that'll do.
Hey bro my tattoos color is black and it got scratch off a bit by my son by accident can that mess the tattoo up it black but now it to light than yours
If its still within the healing process, there is a probability that it'll be lighter. However, if you wanted to make it darker try reaching out the artist that tattooed you if you can get a free retouch. Artist normally give it for free to the tattoos they did or they made.
I’m getting a hand tattoo, so to keep it moisturised you just run water over it a couple times a day? And don’t touch it or itch it or pick flakes off it?
Yes thats what i did, but i'm not sure if it works for everyone. One thing is for sure, it worked pretty well on me. Just make it wet with running water when the tattoo is dry and it feel itchy. 😊😊😊
@@halol229 it just depends i'm gonna use water and stuff for first few days see how it is then i'd use some sort of moisturiser for another week or so and it all should be good hopefully just to use water or something.
Thanks bro. I'm not covering my hand or the tattoo as I go to bed. But before going to sleep I just properly put my hand in my stomach and I have no idea what happened already when I fall asleep. Hehehehehe ☺
Hi Tasha 😊 No, i didn't put lotion or any products on my hand tattoo during the healing process. When it felt itchy I only wash it with running water thoroughly and to keep it moisturized as well.
Thinking of getting one in the same spot this will be my first tat and was wondering what's the pain like in that area. I ain't getting a detailed picture it's just mainly alot of lines and circles no shading
sup man my whole hand was also my first tat. but its really faded out around the knuckles jus got the tat 2-3 weeks ago. think it needs to be touched up
Happy to hear that you got one. I'm not an expert but with all my tattoos, I practice the natural healing where I do not use any products during the healing process and only moisturize it with running water when it feel itchy/dry.

So you didn’t use any lotion at all?!
I didn't used any product at all during the healing process for a month before I start putting lotion on that area of my skin.
What was pain like
Hi Blaine, the pain is subjective. But as for me it would be 6/10 while 8/10 with "Bear Ears" area. - Also, its tolerable 😊🙂

The healing process of your tattoo is so slow after 10 days it should be completely healed...
I think it'll vary from the type of skin you have. For my situation, i'm already used and happy with my timeframe.
Those are some fucked up lines
