  Aftercare
  
  Tattoo artists, and people with tattoos, vary widely in preferred methods of caring for new tattoos. Some artists recommend keeping a new tattoo wrapped for the first twenty-four hours, others suggest removing temporary bandaging after a few hours. Many western tattooists advise against allowing too much contact with water for the first few days; in Japan, in contrast, a new tattoo is often bathed in very hot water early and often.
  
  General consensus for care advises against removing the scab that forms on a new tattoo and avoiding exposing tattoos to the sun for extended periods, which can contribute to fading. Various products may be recommended for application to the skin, ranging from those intended for the treatment of cuts, burns and scrapes, to petroleum jelly or lanolin. In recent years, specific commercial products have been developed for tattoo aftercare. In other cases, the client will be advised to use no products on a new tattoo. A properly applied tattoo will heal as well no matter the aftercare, as long as infection is avoided.

  i dont know about u, but they did wrap for me and gave me a cream to apply for it. dont go to beach or swimming pool for maybe 3-4 weeks. when ur skin is coming out, will be damn itchy. just let it come out by itself.
