Do I need to take anti-inflammatory drugs after getting a tattoo

Nowadays, many people like tattoos very much. As we all know, tattooing is actually an operation on the skin, drawing various patterns and coloring them. If it is a small tattoo, it actually does not have much impact on our skin. But if it is a large tattoo, everyone should pay attention. So, do you need to take anti-inflammatory drugs after getting a tattoo? In fact, in order to prevent skin inflammation, it is necessary to take it.

Things to note after tattooing

1. Wait at least three hours after tattooing to remove the plastic wrap, and then use warm water and a little shower gel or soap to gently wipe off the blood and ointment on the tattoo;

2. After cleaning, apply the ointment. Be sure to use the ointment given to you by the tattoo artist or the special ointment specified by the tattoo artist until the tattoo begins to scab. Do not change the ointment during the process.

3. When the tattoo begins to scab, the tattooed part will slowly itch and begin to peel off. This is a normal phenomenon and there is no need to worry. But remember not to disturb it with your hands, which will damage the color of the tattoo and make it fall off;

4. Before the tattoo is completely healed, you cannot go to the sauna or swim to prevent infection, and you cannot be exposed to the sun for a long time;

5. It is best not to wear tight clothes before the tattoo heals, and keep the tattooed area dry. 6. If you have any questions, please consult a professional and do not handle it on your own.

After tattooing, the tattooed area will be wrapped with plastic wrap or gauze. After 5-6 hours, the plastic wrap or gauze wrapped around the tattooed area should be removed and the tattooed area should be rinsed with clean warm water. Do not use soap or shower gel when rinsing. Be sure to rinse with clean water and wipe the wound dry with a towel.

There will be bleeding at the tattoo site in the first two days after getting a tattoo. Do not do anything at this time, do not apply ointment, and do not touch it with your hands to avoid discoloration.

It is very important to clean the skin of the tattooed area after tattooing. Be sure to wipe the tattooed area dry with a towel or paper towel after sweating a lot or taking a shower.

If you are worried about the tattoo wound getting infected after getting a tattoo, you can choose to take anti-inflammatory drugs to reduce inflammation. Never use alcohol or iodine to disinfect and wipe.

During the healing period after the tattoo, you should avoid alcohol, spicy food, sauna or swimming to avoid reinfection of the wound and affect wound healing.
