FEW THINGS, YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT YOUR FIRST TATTOO

1. Only touch your tattoo with clean hands. Don't let others touch your healing tattoo.
2. It is fine to work out or go to the gym after getting a tattoo, but make sure to cover your tattoo for at least the first two weeks.
3. Gym and yoga mats can harbour nasty germs and bacteria! Most infections in new tattoos are contracted in publicly used places such as these.
4. Make sure the tattoo artist washes his or her hands and wears a fresh pair of protective gloves for each procedure.
5. Don't pick at any scabs, which increases the risk of infection and can damage the design and cause scarring.
